Symphonies 5 and 6 "Pastoral"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

Symphonies Nos 5 and 6 "Pastoral" are orchestral compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1808. The works contrast the tightly wrought, motif-driven drama of the Fifth with the programme-driven, nature-evoking character of the Sixth, illustrating Beethoven's expansion of symphonic form and his role in the transition to the Romantic era.
