Symphonies no. 4, 5 & 6

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Barry Wordsworth & Claire Gibault & Mark Ermler

Symphonies Nos. 4, 5 and 6 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed between 1806 and 1808. They exemplify Beethoven's middle-period symphonic writing, combining classical forms with expanded orchestration, emphatic rhythmic motifs and contrasting pastoral and storm-like textures that signal a shift towards more dramatic, programme-like expression in his career.
