Symphonies nos. 1-3

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Ferdinand Ries & Carl Friedrich Ebers & Compagnia di Punto

Symphonies Nos. 1-3 are the first three numbered symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1799 and 1806. The music moves from classical balance and relatively concise orchestration in the first to larger forms, richer orchestral colour and a more dramatic, heroic approach by the third, and it shows the transition from Beethoven's early style into his middle period.
