Symphonies 3 & 8

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & New York Philharmonic & Alan Gilbert

Symphonies Nos. 3 and 8 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1804 and 1812 respectively. Symphony No. 3 broadened the scale and formal ambitions of the symphony with extended movements and assertive thematic development, while No. 8 is shorter and more classically proportioned with a lighter, scherzo-like character, together demonstrating Beethoven's role in the transition from the Classical to the Romantic era.

First released: 28th October 1997
