Symphony no. 3 "Eroica" / Overture "Fidelio"
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & London Symphony Orchestra & Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos
This album pairs two orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven: his third symphony, composed in 1803–1804, and an operatic overture composed in 1804–1805. The symphony is a large-scale work that broadened orchestral scope with expanded forms and bold harmonic progressions, while the overture exemplifies his dramatic operatic orchestration and both pieces mark a turning point in his move from late-Classical models toward early Romantic expression.
First released: 1990
