- Beethoven – Symphony No. 3 (1803) A trailblazing, mammoth masterpiece, glorifying the life of a great heroic figure. It had to be the Eroica. From those first two electrifying orchestral chords to the final victorious timpani flourishes it never puts a toe wrong.
- Beethoven – Symphony No. 9 (1824) The symphonic game-changer which has both terrified and inspired composers ever since. Had audiences in 1824 heard anything more elemental than Beethoven’s Ninth’s opening bars?
- Mozart – Symphony No. 41 (1788) A triumph of structure, crowned with one of music’s most dazzling fugal finales. The miracle of the work is its immense design, with a mixture of celebratory fanfares, cascading scales and yearning figures.
- Mahler – Symphony No. 9 (1909) An epic work from the dying embers of the Austro-German Romantic tradition. Scored for vast orchestral forces – huge woodwind and brass, with a percussion section that includes timpani, bass drum, side drum, triangle, cymbals, tam-tam, glockenspiel and three deep bells – the most striking thing about its soundworld is Mahler’s exquisite handling of sonorities.
- Mozart – Symphony No. 41. Mozart’s final symphony was also his best – and it’s no coincidence that it’s subtitled ‘Jupiter’, either. Mozart threw absolutely everything at this epic, his longest symphony.
- Florence Price – Symphony No.1. In 1932, Florence Price took home first prize in a competition for her glorious Symphony No.1 in E minor, a thrilling four-movement work packed with soaring melodies.
- Beethoven – Symphony No. 9 (‘Choral’) Written when the composer himself was profoundly deaf, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is without question, one of the greatest works in the classical repertoire, labelled by Classic FM presenter and Beethoven expert, John Suchet, as “the culmination of Beethoven’s genius”.
- Mahler – Symphony No. 2 (‘Resurrection’) This masterful symphony was Mahler’s most loved work during his own lifetime, and an absolute triumph at its premiere.
