Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, the first heralding the new century in 1800; the last completed in 1824. Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 has enjoyed enormous popularity, not least for its patriotic associations that accord well with the period of its composition and suit the sensibilities of later generations. In orchestration the Fifth Symphony shows innovations in its inclusion of the piccolo, the double bassoon and three trombones in the final movement. Béla Drahos conducts the Nicolaus Esterházy Sinfonia on this 1997 release.
