Symphonies nos. 2, 5
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Simon Rattle
Symphonies Nos. 2 and 5 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1802 and 1808 respectively. They span the transition from the Classical to the early Romantic era, with the Second demonstrating light, energetic orchestration and formal clarity while the Fifth is built around a concise, forceful four-note motif and a dramatic trajectory that marks a key moment in Beethoven's artistic development.
