Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" / Grosse Fuge
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Rundfunk‐Sinfonieorchester Saarbrücken & Hiroshi Wakasugi & St. Petersburg Soloists & Michail Gantvarg
This release pairs a large-scale early 19th-century symphony and a substantial late-period instrumental fugue by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1804 and 1825 respectively. The symphony exemplifies Beethoven's middle-period expansion of form, orchestration and thematic development, while the fugue displays his late-period contrapuntal complexity and structural experimentation, illustrating two key stages in his compositional evolution.
