Symphonien 6 “Pastorale” & 8

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Klaus Tennstedt

Symphonies Nos. 6 and 8 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1808 and 1812 respectively. The Sixth adopts a programme-like, pastoral character with expansive, nature-evoking textures, while the Eighth is shorter and more classically proportioned with brisker movements, together illustrating Beethoven's evolving approach to form and orchestration in his middle period.
