Symphonies 2 & 8
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Classical Players & Sir Roger Norrington
Symphonies No. 2 and No. 8 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1802 and 1812 respectively. Both symphonies demonstrate Beethoven's grounding in Classical-era forms while signalling his expanding rhythmic boldness and structural experimentation, with the Second positioned at the outset of his middle-period development and the Eighth noted for its concise, often scherzo-like economy in contrast to his larger-scale works.
