Hot Ticket: Five-fold fantastic
By JOHN FLEMING
Published May 25, 2006
Fives rule in the Florida Orchestra's season-ending masterworks program, beginning with Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 5, which, for good measure, has five movements. Stewart Goodyear, pictured here, is the soloist. Continuing the theme, part of music director Stefan Sanderling's effort to match Beethoven's symphonies with similar-numbered works, are the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger's Symphony No. 5 and Webern's Five Pieces for Orchestra. Oh, yes, there's also the raison d'etre for the program, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. Performances are today at Ruth Eckerd Hall, Friday at Morsani Hall of the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and Saturday at Mahaffey Theater, all at 7:30 p.m. $15.50-$50.50. (813) 286-2403 or toll-free 1-800-662-7286; floridaorchestra.org. - JOHN FLEMING, Times performing arts critic
