Symphonies 1 & 2

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Columbia Symphony Orchestra & Bruno Walter

Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 are the first two symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and premiered in 1800 and 1803 respectively. Musically they occupy his early period, drawing on classical-era forms and orchestral balance while signalled by broader harmonic exploration, heightened rhythmic drive and increased dramatic contrasts that point towards his later innovations in symphonic writing.
