Symphonies nos. 1 & 2
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & English Chamber Orchestra & Michael Tilson Thomas
Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 are the first two numbered symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and completed in 1800 and 1802 respectively. They exhibit an energetic Classical orchestral style with clear sonata-form structures, evolving orchestration, pronounced rhythmic drive and moments of wit, and they mark an early turning point in Beethoven's development from Classical models toward the more expansive middle-period idiom.
