Symphony No.7 - The Ruins of Athens

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Sir Thomas Beecham & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Beecham Choral Society

Symphony No. 7 and The Ruins of Athens are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1811 and 1813. They illustrate Beethoven's late Classical to early Romantic orchestral style, juxtaposing the Seventh's propulsive rhythmic drive and expansive orchestral gestures with the incidental music's lighter, more theatrical textures that reflect his engagement with stage works and civic commissions at that time.
