Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 "Eroica"
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra & Michael Gielen
Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 "Eroica" is the third symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1804. The work expands the scale and emotional range of the classical symphony through extended forms, dense thematic development and innovative orchestration—including a substantial funeral-march slow movement—and marks a decisive shift into Beethoven's middle period that helped shape the early Romantic symphonic tradition.
First released: 1993
