Leonore Overture No. 3 / Symphony No. 6

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & The Cleveland Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi

This release is a collection of orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, dating from 1805 and 1808. The works illustrate Beethoven's middle-period development, juxtaposing dramatic, operatic overture techniques with a pastoral, programme-style symphonic approach that employs expanded orchestration, thematic development and contrasts between turbulent passages and rustic calm.
