Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" / "Coriolan" Overture

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Columbia Symphony Orchestra & Bruno Walter

Symphony No. 3 is the third symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1804, and the related concert overture was composed in 1807. Both works exemplify a shift toward greater dramatic scope in Beethoven's orchestral writing, expanding formal structures, intensifying harmonic and thematic development and increasing the expressive and technical demands on the orchestra, and they occupy a pivotal place in his middle-period output.
First released: 1959
