Symphony no. 3 “Eroica” / Leonora Overture no. 1

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Symfonický orchester Slovenského rozhlasu & Michael Halász

Symphony No. 3 'Eroica' and the Leonora Overture No. 1 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 and 1805 respectively. The symphony enlarged the scale and expressive scope of the symphonic form through extended structures, dramatic contrasts and adventurous harmonic progressions, while the overture exhibits concentrated dramatic writing tied to his operatic efforts; together they exemplify Beethoven's shift from Classical conventions toward a more expansive, early Romantic idiom and occupy a pivotal place in his middle-period output.
