Sinfonie Nr. 1 C-Dur Op. 21 / Sinfonie Nr. 2 D-Dur Op. 36

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Dresdner Philharmonie & Herbert Kegel

Sinfonie Nr. 1 C-Dur Op. 21 and Sinfonie Nr. 2 D-Dur Op. 36 are the first two symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1799 and 1802. They employ Classical-era orchestral forces and forms while expanding harmonic language, rhythmic drive and orchestral colour, exhibiting early experimentation in structure and expressive contrast that foreshadows Beethoven's later, more adventurous symphonic writing.
First released: 1984
