Symphony No. 6 Op. 68 "Pastoral", Choral Fantasy Op. 80 etc.

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Claudio Abbado

Two significant works by Ludwig van Beethoven were composed and first performed in 1808. One piece employs a lyrical, programme-inflected orchestral idiom evoking rural scenes while the other combines piano, orchestra and chorus in a compact, dramatic fantasia that reflects Beethoven's expanding formal and vocal ambitions, marking a pivotal moment between his middle and late stylistic phases.
First released: 30th December 1987
