Symphonie 9 / Ouvertüre: Prometheus

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Philharmonia Orchestra & Otto Klemperer

Symphonie 9 / Ouvertüre: Prometheus is an album of orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, comprising a major 1824 symphony and an earlier overture composed in 1801. The music spans Beethoven's middle and late periods, juxtaposing a large-scale symphonic structure that incorporates chorus and expanded formal scope with an overture that displays dramatic orchestral gestures and the stylistic shift from Classical balance towards early Romantic expressiveness.
First released: 1998
