Overtures

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen & Paavo Järvi

Overtures is a collection of orchestral overtures by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1795 and 1814. The works sit within the Classical tradition while introducing early Romantic features, characterised by bold thematic contrasts, expanded orchestration and a dramatic sense of development that helped pave the way for Beethoven's later symphonies and for 19th-century orchestral practice.
First released: 14th October 2014
