Four fateful notes begin what has become one of the most important and popular works in classical music—Beethoven’s stormy and victorious Fifth Symphony. Together with the free-wheeling Choral Fantasy, a perky rondo for piano and orchestra, and a dramatic overture, this season-opener reveals Beethoven at his best: bold, expressive, brilliant.
