The Symphonies

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar & Gustavo Dudamel

The Symphonies are a cycle of nine symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1799 and 1824. Spanning his early, middle and late periods, they move from Classical forms to increasingly expansive and innovative structures that broadened orchestral forces, harmonic language and expressive scope and thus figure prominently in the history of the symphony.
