Leonore Overture no. 3, op. 72a / Symphony no. 7 in A major, op. 92

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & San Francisco Symphony & Michael Tilson Thomas

Leonore Overture No. 3, Op. 72a and Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in the early nineteenth century (the overture in c.1805–06 and the symphony in 1811–12). The overture is dramatic and operatic, reflecting Beethoven's engagement with stage drama, while the Seventh is characterised by persistent rhythmic drive and dance-derived motifs that exemplify his middle-period orchestral style.
