Third Symphonie: "Heroica"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden‐Baden und Freiburg & Woldemar Nelsson

The Third Symphony, often titled 'Eroica' (sometimes rendered as 'Heroica'), is the third symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 and first performed in 1805. Musically, it expanded the scale and expressive range of the symphony through extended movements, bold harmonic and formal innovations and a prominent funeral‑march movement, signalling a decisive shift toward the Romantic era in Beethoven's output.
First released: 1996
