Symphony no. 7 / Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Freiburger Barockorchester & Gottfried von der Goltz

Symphony No. 7 / Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus is a paired recording of orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, originally composed in 1811–1812 and 1800 respectively. The programme contrasts the symphony's expansive, rhythmically driven orchestral writing and pronounced pulse with the ballet's lighter, dance-oriented classical textures and clearer decorative melodies, illustrating Beethoven's development from theatre-oriented composition toward broader symphonic experimentation in the early nineteenth century.
