Symphonies 1-9

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Tafelmusik & Bruno Weil

Symphonies Nos. 1-9 are the nine numbered symphonies by the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1799 and 1824. They trace Beethoven's development from Classical-era orchestral writing to a more expansive Romantic language, characterised by larger-scale structures, novel orchestral colours and the later inclusion of vocal forces in the Ninth, reflecting a pivotal shift in the composer's mature output and in the symphonic tradition.
