Conductor, Fred Mortimer

Symphony No. 8, in F played by the BBC Scottish Orchestra, conducted by Ian Whyte
Beethoven's Symphony No. 8. in F. the lightest, shoMest, and most easy-going since the No. 1 in C. is typical of the composer's vein of rough. untamed humour. The airv, piquant second movement is'unique among the whole of Beethoven's works. No less attractive and beautifully wrought is the third movement, which is virtually a Minuet and Trio. The magnificent Finale is brilliant and vigorous to a degree. Beethoven himself preferred this work to the better-known Seventh Symphony.
