Symphony no. 4 / Symphony no. 8

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Minnesota Orchestra & Antal Doráti

Symphonies No. 4 and No. 8 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1812 respectively. They occupy distinctive places in his output: the Fourth is comparatively lyrical and classical in its proportions, bridging his middle-period innovations, while the Eighth is concise and characterful, emphasising Classical-era forms and rhythmic clarity.
