Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1808. Musically it features a recurring four-note motif, stark dynamic contrasts, a progression from C minor to C major and expanded orchestral textures, reflecting a pivotal phase in Beethoven's middle period in which he extended the expressive and structural scope of the classical symphony.
