Programme Details

Roderick Cox conductor

BEETHOVEN Symphony No 5 in C minor, Op 67
R STRAUSS Ein Heldenleben, Op 40

With its iconic four-note opening, said to represent fate knocking at the door, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony grips listeners from the first moment. Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben — thunderous, semi-autobiographical and subtly tongue-in-cheek — concludes the concert.
