Symphony no. 3 in E‐flat major “Eroica”, op. 55 / Symphony no. 1 in C major, op. 21
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & René Leibowitz
This paired symphony recording by Ludwig van Beethoven presents works that were composed and premiered in 1800 and 1804. Stylistically it spans late Classical clarity and formal balance to the emergent heroic middle period, employing enlarged orchestral forces, increased rhythmic drive, expanded structures and striking harmonic innovation that mark a decisive development in Beethoven's compositional trajectory.
First released: 1992
