Symphony no. 3 (Eroica) / Symphony no. 5

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Kurt Masur & London Philharmonic Orchestra

Symphony No. 3 (Eroica) and Symphony No. 5 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803-1804 and 1804-1808 respectively. Both works expanded the scale and expressive range of the symphony: the Third introduced a heroic ethos and broader formal structures that mark Beethoven's middle period, while the Fifth is characterised by its concise four-note motif, rigorous development and a tonal journey from C minor to C major that helped shape nineteenth-century orchestral practice.
