For me, all 9 of Beethoven’s Symphonies are masterpieces, just masterpieces in different ways. My subjective ranking is 9>7>5>3>6>8>2>4>1. The 9th is always my one of all time favourite pieces, only slightly lower than his own late quartets. The humanism in the symphony is just remarkable and just a global cultural treasure. I always love the rhythm in no.7, so full of life and vivacity. No.5, an all time triumph, and for me it’s more direct than no.3, though both are great! The calmness in no.6 is great as well! The final movement of no.8 is just ridiculously good! No.2’s energy is so good, as well as no.4, though no.4 less so for me haha. No.1, sorry, even though it’s great, I think Mozart wrote better classical symphony than no.1!

What’s your ranking of the symphonies?
