Symphonien 1 & 2
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan
Symphonien 1 & 2 are the first and second symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed around 1800–1803. They sit at the transition between the Classical and early Romantic periods, employing classical forms and clear orchestration while introducing increased rhythmic drive, bold harmonic turns and expanded structural ideas that point toward Beethoven's later symphonic innovations.
