Symphony no. 5 in C minor / "Egmont" /"The Creatures of Prometheus"

This release is a collection of orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1801 and 1810. The music spans his transition from early to middle-period writing, combining classical forms with bold rhythmic motifs, dramatic dynamics and an increased emphasis on orchestral colour that influenced subsequent 19th-century symphonic and theatrical repertoire.
