Beethoven worked on the Fifth Symphony for more than four years, completing it in 1808, and introducing it on December 22 of that year at what must have been one of the most extraordinary concerts in history. The marathon program included the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies; the Choral Fantasy, Op. 80; the Fourth Piano Concerto; and parts of the Mass in C. Vienna was in the grip of exceptionally cold weather, the hall was unheated, and the musicians woefully under-prepared. As Schindler noted, "the reception accorded to these works was not as desired, and probably no better than the author himself had expected. The public was not endowed with the necessary degree of comprehension for such extraordinary music, and the performance left a great deal to be desired."

Following early indifference, the public only gradually began to come to terms with the Fifth. One of its earliest proponents, the poet and composer E.T.A. Hoffmann wrote, "How this magnificent composition carries the listener on and on in a continually ascending climax into the ghostly world of infinity!...the human breast, squeezed by monstrous presentiments and destructive powers, seems to gasp for breath; soon a kindly figure approaches full of radiance, and illuminates the depths of terrifying night." In his Howard's End, E.M. Forster writes of the work, suggesting that it satisfies "all sort and conditions." The characters of Helen and Tibby know the work well, the latter even describing "the transitional passage on the drum" before the finale. That Forster dwelt at such length on the work shows the extent to which it had become absorbed into the Romantic consciousness.

Hermann Kretzschmar wrote of the "stirring dogged and desperate struggle" of the first movement, one of the most concentrated of all Beethoven's symphonic sonata movements. It is derived almost exclusively from the rhythmic cell of the opening, which is even felt in the accompaniment of the second subject group. There follows a variation movement in which cellos introduce the theme, increasingly elaborated and with shorter note values at every reappearance. A second, hymn-like motif is heard as its counterfoil.

Been listening to post classical era music for so long I forgot how much I liked Beethoven. Nice to revisit such a masterpiece.

Irrelevant fact! The viola only plays 24 notes that are above C5. Yes, I counted.

I love the symphony. The first movement is a very important part of Beethoven's life. The Fourth Movement is also pretty good.

One of the best recordings, I prefer the version with the repeated exposition in the final movement like here :)

Das ist wahrscheinlich die beste Aufnahme die ich je von der 5. Sinfonie von Beethoven gehört habe. Das ganze Werk nur starke Ausdrücke von Blechbläsern, also so eine sehr gute, starke Aufnahme von der Sinfonie habe ich noch nicht gehört. Im Allgemeinen nimmst du immer sehr gute Aufnahmen von den Werken auf, man könnte fast sagen du hast den gleichen Geschmack wie ich. :)

24:39 YES! THEY TOOK THE REPEAT! ALWAYS A THUMBS UP WHEN THEY TAKE ALL REPEATS, AND ALWAYS A THUMBS DOWN WHEN THEY DON'T!

6:26 This motif perhaps is a reference to Bach WTC Prelude and Fugue in B♭ minor, BWV 891 (to fugue's theme). The main motif, by the way, is similar to BWV 874 fugue theme.
