Omega Ensemble – Beethoven’s Seventh

One of the most celebrated works, Beethoven’s seventh symphony is an undisputed masterpiece. First performed at a benefit concert for wounded soldiers, the symphony achieved instant popularity. Composers Gounod and Spohr are better known for their operatic creations, but both also made outstanding contributions to the instrumental canon. Gounod’s Petite Symphonie is delightful and charming, while the sparkling Grand Nonetto flaunts Spohr’s melodic brilliance.
