Symphonien nos. 1 & 2
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Claudio Abbado
Symphonien Nos. 1 & 2 are the first two symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1800 and 1802 respectively. They bridge Classical-era symphonic conventions and the composer's emerging Romantic tendencies, featuring clear sonata structures, increased rhythmic drive, a broadened orchestral palette and sharper dynamic contrasts that point toward his middle-period innovations.
