Symphony no. 3 "Eroica" / Leonore Overtures nos. 2 & 3

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Philharmonia Orchestra & Otto Klemperer

This is a classical release of works by Ludwig van Beethoven composed in the early 1800s, principally written between 1803 and 1806. Musically it exemplifies Beethoven's shift into his middle 'heroic' period, expanding symphonic scale, dramatic development and orchestral texture while pairing a large-scale symphony with overtures that reflect operatic drama and thematic ambition within his evolving compositional language.
First released: 9th April 2002
