Symphony no. 8

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & André Cluytens

Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93, is the eighth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1812 and premiered in 1814. A concise four-movement Classical symphony, it is characterised by rhythmic wit, clear formal structures and a restrained, light-hearted tone that contrasts with some of his more expansive middle-period works, reflecting Beethoven's continued engagement with Classical forms.
