Symphonie Nr. 5

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Columbia Symphony Orchestra & Bruno Walter

Symphony No. 5 is a symphony by the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1808. The work is cast in four movements and is characterised by a succinct recurring short-short-short-long motif, vigorous contrasts and expanded orchestral textures, representing a pivotal moment in Beethoven's middle period and in the evolution of the early nineteenth-century symphonic tradition.
