Symphony no. 7 in A major / Symphony no. 8 in F major
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Symphony Orchestra & Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos
Symphony No. 7 in A major and Symphony No. 8 in F major are orchestral symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in the early 1810s. They contrast in character — the Seventh is driven by rhythmic vitality and dance-like metres, while the Eighth embraces classical clarity, concision and playful wit, together representing Beethoven's middle-period engagement with rhythmic innovation and a renewed dialogue with Classical forms.
First released: 1995
