Penny Gore presents recent concerts by the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Across the week the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ SSO will play five Fifth Symphonies - a number which often seems to bring out the best in composers, from Beethoven through Tchaikovsky and Bruckner to Mahler and Sibelius.

The series starts today with the answer to the famous question 'Who wrote Beethoven's Fifth?' Tchaikovsky, meanwhile, contributes his Fourth Symphony - his Fifth will be along tomorrow.
