Symphonies no. 7, 8 & 9

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Barry Wordsworth & James Lockhart & Raymond Leppard

This collection of orchestral symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven comprises works composed and first performed between 1812 and 1824. These large-scale orchestral works exemplify Beethoven's late-classical to early-romantic style, featuring expanded orchestration, bold rhythmic gestures and innovative structural development that mark a culminating phase in his symphonic output and in the broader history of Western art music.
