Symphonie Nr. 3 in Es-Dur op. 55 (Eroica)

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Berliner Philharmoniker & Wilhelm Furtwängler

Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 (Eroica) is a symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 and first performed in 1805. The work broadened the symphony's scale and expressive range through bold thematic development, expanded formal structures and heightened rhythmic drive, and it marks a pivotal point between Beethoven's early and middle periods that contributed to the transition from Classical to Romantic musical language.
