Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Tonhalle‐Orchester Zürich & David Zinman
Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and premiered in 1800 and 1803 respectively. Rooted in the Classical tradition but exhibiting early Romantic impulses, they feature energetic string writing, prominent horn passages and expanding harmonic language that foreshadowed his later symphonic innovations and marked his emergence as a major symphonic composer.
