| Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in a 60 minutes rendition from a very rare LP recording featuring one of the best orchestras in the world, performing the famous 1-st movement for more than 1 hour. This is one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven.
The initial motif of the symphony has sometimes been credited with symbolic significance as a representation of Fate knocking at the door. The key of the 5th Symphony, C minor, is commonly regarded as a special key for Beethoven, specifically a stormy and heroic tonality. Beethoven wrote a number of works in C minor whose character is broadly similar to that of the Symphony No. 5.
