Symphony No. 2

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Simon Rattle

Symphony No. 2 is the second symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1802. Musically it is rooted in the Classical symphonic tradition while anticipating Romantic tendencies through expanded harmonic boldness, increased rhythmic drive and more adventurous orchestration, and it occupies a transitional place in Beethoven's output as he moved into his middle period during the onset of his hearing loss.
