Symphony no. 2 in D major / Prometheus Overture

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & André Cluytens

Symphony No. 2 in D major and the Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus are orchestral compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in the early 1800s (the overture in 1801 and the symphony in 1802). Both pieces belong to his early period and exemplify Classical-era forms while introducing greater rhythmic drive, expanded orchestration and adventurous harmonic gestures that presage the more dramatic developments of his middle-period writing.
First released: 6th March 2020
