Les 9 Symphonies

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & André Cluytens

Les 9 Symphonies is the cycle of nine symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1799 and 1824. These orchestral works span his early, middle and late periods, moving from classical forms towards increasingly expansive structures and bold harmonic, rhythmic and orchestral experiments that helped reshape the symphonic tradition in Western art music.
