Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Fritz Reiner & Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Symphonies No. 5 and No. 7 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and premiered in 1808 and 1813 respectively. Both symphonies exemplify Beethoven's mature classical style, featuring distinctive rhythmic motifs, dramatic dynamic contrasts and expanded orchestral textures, and they occupy a central position in the development of the symphony as a form and in Beethoven's progression towards the Romantic era.
