Symphonies nos. 1 & 8

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Erich Leinsdorf

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 8 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in 1800 and 1814 respectively. The first symphony announces Beethoven's emergence from Classical models through bold rhythmic drive and expanding orchestral colour, while the eighth returns to a more concise, playful Classical manner with unusual structural economy that sits between his early and middle-period styles.

First released: 1989
