Symphonies 5 & 7

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

Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and premiered in 1808 and 1813 respectively. Rooted in the Classical tradition yet pointing towards Romanticism, they employ driving rhythmic gestures, expanded orchestral forces and striking contrasts of mood and dynamics, representing a pivotal development in Beethoven's symphonic output and in early 19th-century music.
