Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" / Overture "Coriolan"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Carlos Païta

Symphony No. 3 'Eroica' and the Overture 'Coriolan' are orchestral compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 and 1807 respectively. The symphony expanded the scale and formal complexity of the Classical symphony with extended development, bold brass writing and a heroic, dramatic character, while the overture is a concise, stormy concert-piece that emphasises rhythmic drive and contrasting motifs; both belong to Beethoven's middle period and illustrate his move towards greater structural ambition and expressive intensity that helped bridge Classical and Romantic styles.

First released: 1989
