Symphonies 5 & 6

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Riccardo Chailly & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig

Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and premiered in 1808. They exemplify Beethoven's mature symphonic style, with the Fifth built around driving rhythmic motifs and dramatic developmental processes and the Sixth presenting pastoral, programme-like movements that depict rural scenes, reflecting his middle-period expansion of form and expressive range.
