Béla Drahos conducts the Nicolaus Esterházy Sinfonia on this 1997 release of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, which 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.
