Symphonies no. 4 & 7

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Joshua Bell & Academy of St Martin in the Fields

Symphonies Nos 4 and 7 are orchestral compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 and 1812 respectively. Musically they contrast: the Fourth is marked by Classical balance, transparent orchestration and a poised, lyrical demeanour, whereas the Seventh emphasises propulsive, dance-derived rhythms and expanded orchestral drive, reflecting Beethoven's middle-period shift toward heightened rhythmic and structural experimentation in the symphonic repertoire.
