Symphony No. 1

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Simon Rattle

Symphony No. 1 is the first symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and premiered in 1800. Rooted in Classical-era symphonic forms and orchestration, the work employs clear sonata structures, balanced movements and rhythmic vitality while signalling Beethoven's emerging tendency toward expanded development and greater dramatic contrast that would shape his later symphonies.
