Symphonie Nr. 6 "Pastorale"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral" is the sixth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and first performed in 1808. Rooted in the Classical tradition but pointing toward the early Romantic era, it is characterised by lyrical, programme-like movements that evoke rural scenes and nature and represents a notable example of Beethoven's middle-period shift toward more descriptive, extramusical expression.
First released: 1962
