Symphonies nos. 5 & 6

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Tafelmusik & Bruno Weil & Jeanne Lamon

Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and premiered in 1808. They exemplify Beethoven's middle-period expansion of the symphonic form, combining concise, motif-driven rhythms and dramatic contrasts with pastoral, programme-influenced textures that broaden the expressive range of early Romantic orchestral music.
First released: 15th March 2005
