Building a Library: Nicholas Baragwanath recommends a recording of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. It is an iconic work that has assumed a central place in the repertoire - admired not only for the intellectual rigour of its musical working out but also for the highly emotional atmosphere of its themes of fate, despair and heroic triumph over adversity.

As part of New Year New Music, David Owen Norris and Sara Mohr-Pietsch join Andrew to discuss new releases of modern and contemporary music, including works by Saariaho, Martland, Feldman and Ferneyhough.
