Beethoven's Fifth Symphony — the most recognizable orchestral composition ever written — anchors this exhilarating programme. Violinist Sarah Chang, of whom The New York Times has written, “Her gifts are so removed from the rest of us that all we can do is feel the appropriate awe and then wonder on the mysteries of nature,” performs Shostakovich's passionate and eloquent Concerto No. 1.
