Symphonies Nos. 2, 5
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & The Cleveland Orchestra & George Szell
Symphonies Nos. 2 and 5 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1802 and 1808 respectively. No. 2 is rooted in the late Classical tradition with energetic scherzos and clear sonata forms, while No. 5, from his middle period, employs a distinctive four‑note rhythmic motif, expanded orchestration and formal innovations that mark a transition towards a more dramatic, Romantic conception of the symphony.
First released: 1991
