Symphonies 4 & 5

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Classical Players & Sir Roger Norrington

Symphonies Nos. 4 and 5 are orchestral compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1808 respectively. They contrast the Fourth's light, classical restraint and lyrical clarity with the Fifth's dramatic, motif-driven intensity, and together they illustrate Beethoven's shift from classical models toward a more forceful, structurally bold approach that influenced the subsequent development of the symphony.
