Symphony no. 5 / Overture Leonore no. 3

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & André Cluytens

Symphony No. 5 and the Overture Leonore No. 3 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1804–1808 and 1806 respectively. Both exemplify Beethoven's middle-period style, with concentrated, motif-driven thematic development, expanded orchestration and heightened dramatic contrasts that contributed to a shift in symphonic practice toward more assertive, narrative-driven forms in early 19th-century music history.
First released: 20th March 2020
