Beethoven Symphony No. 5 - Herbert von Karajan (Berliner Philharmoniker)

A production of Telemundial, recorded in September & December 1983 at the Philarmonie, Berlin.

The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written between 1804 and 1808.
It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music and one of the most frequently played symphonies, and it is widely considered one of the cornerstones of western music.

First performed in Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1808, the work achieved its prodigious reputation soon afterward. Like Beethoven's Eroica (heroic) and Pastorale (rural), Symphony No. 5 was given an explicit name besides the numbering, though not by Beethoven himself. It became popular under "Schicksals-Sinfonie" (Fate Symphony), and the famous five bar theme was coined "Schicksals-Motiv".

As is typical of symphonies in the classical period, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is in four movements:

I. Allegro con brio
II. Andante con moto
III. Scherzo: Allegro
IV. Allegro – Presto
