Symphony no. 5 / Leonore III

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Orquesta Filarmónica de la Ciudad de México & Fernando Lozano

Symphony No. 5 and the Leonore No. 3 overture are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven from the early 19th century, with Leonore No. 3 dating to around 1806 and Symphony No. 5 completed in 1808. Both pieces illustrate Beethoven's move from Classical forms toward early Romantic expression, characterised by pronounced motivic development, dramatic dynamic contrasts and enlarged orchestral textures that influenced subsequent symphonic and overture writing.
First released: 16th February 2009
