Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Bernard Haitink & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest
Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 are the first and second numbered symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in 1800 and 1803 respectively. They belong to his early period, leaning on Classical forms and clear orchestration while beginning to expand harmonic language and structural scope, signalling the composer's move from the influence of Haydn and Mozart towards his more individual voice in later symphonies.
