Symphonies Nos. 5, 7

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Philharmonia Orchestra & Benjamin Zander

Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1808 and 1812 respectively. They exemplify Beethoven's middle-period expansion of symphonic form, with the Fifth characterised by concise motivic development and dramatic contrasts and the Seventh distinguished by sustained rhythmic drive and dance-like movements, marking important milestones in his orchestral writing.
