In the year celebrating the 250th anniversary of his birth, we just had to include a Beethoven symphony in Classics with NOW! Listen here to his Symphony No 7 in A Major, recorded in May 2014 with 蜜芽传媒 NOW Conductor Laureate, Tadaaki Otaka.

It鈥檚 perhaps not as well-known as his fifth and ninth symphonies, but Beethoven鈥檚 seventh symphony is a fantastic piece, full of life and beautiful melodies. The joyful, light-hearted later movements are perfectly matched by the sombre tones from the early movements, especially the beautiful second movement (Allegretto).

Stride through your Friday afternoon with this classic from one of the most popular and prolific composers in history.
