Symphony no. 6

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Symphony No. 6 is the sixth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1808. The work is a programme symphony that evokes rural scenes through lyrical melodies, pastoral textures, prominent wind writing imitating bird-calls and varied orchestral colouring, and it sits in Beethoven's middle period alongside his contemporaneous innovations in symphonic form.
First released: 1989
