Beethoven's 5th Symphony headlines this Prom, the most iconic symphony in western music with its dramatic opening 'fate' motif. The symphony is preceded by Beethoven's Coriolan Overture, a work of contained ferocity. In contrast the concert opens with Strauss's Blue Danube Waltz, the ultimate expression of the pleasures of Viennese high society.
Donald Runnicles conducts the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Introduced from the Royal Albert Hall by Suzy Klein.
