The Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven was revolutionary when it was first played in 1808. When it's played well, it still packs a tremendous emotional punch. On Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll take an epic thirty minute journey from darkness to light. Conductor Louis Langree leads the Cincinnati Symphony in Beethoven's Fifth.
