Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3 "Eroica"
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & NBC Symphony Orchestra & Arturo Toscanini
Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3, the latter commonly known as the Eroica, are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1800 and 1804. The First Symphony reflects Beethoven's early Classical roots with clear formal structures and balanced orchestration, while the Eroica expands symphonic scale, harmonic language and emotional scope, marking his transition into the middle 'heroic' period and signalling a profound shift in the development of the symphony.
First released: 1990
