| Performance Notes | Two centuries on, Beethovens Fifth Symphony has lost none of its shattering power. A tirade against destiny, it remains one of the most compelling yet perfect musical arguments ever created. Sakari Oramo conducts it here, after the pulsating drive of HK Grubers Busking, performed by Håkan Hardenberger, the soloist for whom it was created. But, to start, music of pictorial delicacy: Henri Dutilleuxs sonic reproduction of the cosmic, whirling effect of Van Goghs painting The Starry Night.
