Symphony No. 7

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Fritz Reiner

Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1812 and first performed in Vienna in 1813. Scored for a classical orchestra, it is characterised by energetic, rhythmically driven movements, bold orchestral colours and a sense of formal experimentation that places it in Beethoven's middle-period output and points towards developments in early Romantic orchestral writing.
First released: 25th September 2001
