Symphonie No. 3 "Eroica" / Ouvertüre "Egmont"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphonie No. 3 "Eroica" / Ouvertüre "Egmont" is a pairing of orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 (Symphony No. 3) and 1810 (Egmont overture). The symphony expanded the scale and ambition of the classical symphony with extended formal proportions, bold thematic development and a broader orchestral palette, while the overture, written as incidental music for a Goethe play, employs dramatic rhythms and striking brass gestures to create a tense-to-triumphant arc, together marking a decisive middle-period shift in Beethoven's approach to form and expression.
