Boldness meets delicacy on this arresting programme. Beethoven's forceful Fifth Symphony leads us on an emotional journey from angry despair to uninhibited celebration. In an imaginative and often unusually subdued new percussion concerto, British composer Simon Holt uses a limited number of featured instruments to produce an amazing array of sonic possibilities.
