Cantata on the Death of the Emperor Joseph II / Symphony no. 2

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & San Francisco Symphony & Michael Tilson Thomas

Cantata on the Death of the Emperor Joseph II / Symphony No. 2 is an album of works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1790 and 1802. The cantata is an early vocal piece rooted in classical choral and orchestral practice, while the Second Symphony is a largely optimistic orchestral work that shows expanded harmonic language and larger-scale structures that point to his later style.
