Beethoven's 5th Symphony has the well-known opening phrase, and throughout is tuneful and lively.  BBC Young Musician finalist Ben Goldscheider brings youth and vitality to the Strauss second Horn Concerto which is a glorious work.   And the other Fifth Symphony, this time by Danish composer Carl Nielsen brings dramatic music with manic side-drum at one point and a beautiful clarinet solo winning through the battle!  A piece worth hearing but rarely played.     Albert Hall, Nottingham DD/MM/YYYY
