Symphonie no. 6 "Pastorale"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Wiener Philharmoniker & Karl Böhm

Symphony No. 6 'Pastoral' is the sixth symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed and first performed in 1808. The work is a programme symphony that evokes rural scenes and nature through lyrical melodies, rustic rhythms and colourful orchestration, and it represents a sustained emphasis on pastoral imagery within Beethoven's middle-period output that helped influence the development of programme elements in early Romantic orchestral music.
First released: 1971
