Symphony no. 4, op. 60 / Symphony no. 5, op. 67

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Bruno Walter & Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60 and Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1808 respectively. They illustrate Beethoven's transition from Classical to early Romantic idioms, with the Fourth exhibiting classical poise and lyrical clarity and the Fifth characterised by its short-short-short-long rhythmic motif, expansive development and intensified orchestral forces that influenced later symphonic writing.
