Symphonies Nos. 1, 2

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Academy of Ancient Music & Christopher Hogwood

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1800 and 1802 respectively. They employ Classical-era forms and orchestration—clear sonata structures, prominent wind and brass writing, and expanded dynamic and harmonic range—and document Beethoven's development from his Classical models toward a more individual symphonic voice associated with the early Romantic era.
First released: 1986
