Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Nemzeti Filharmonikus Zenekar & János Ferencsik
Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 is a two-work symphonic set by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1800 and 1802. They feature Classical-era orchestration and clear formal structures with transparent textures, while foreshadowing Beethoven's increasing rhythmic drive and expanded harmonic language that characterise his move from Classical models toward his more assertive middle-period symphonies.
First released: 1988
