The notes G-G-G-E flat, better known as simply 'ta-ta-ta-taaa', are perhaps the four most famous in all of classical music. They form the opening motif of Symphony No. 5 in C minor by Ludwig van Beethoven. Featured here are twelve interpretations of the famous first movement by legendary artists including Otto Klemperer, Michael Gielen, Stanisław Skrowaczewski and Jascha Horenstein, exploring the range and diversity of Beethoven's Fifth on record during the last 70 years. A complete performance of the symphony in a new recording conducted by Robert Trevino is also included. Hear, discover and compare.
