Symphony no. 6 "Pastoral"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Staatskapelle Dresden & Wolfgang Sawallisch

Symphony No. 6, the Pastoral, is the sixth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and premiered in 1808. The work employs programme elements depicting rural scenes through luminous orchestration, folk-like motifs and a generally tranquil, lyrical character across five movements, and it sits within Beethoven's middle period as an example of his turn towards extra-musical narrative in orchestral music.
First released: 2003
