Symphonies Nos. 3 "Eroica", 8

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Columbia Symphony Orchestra & Bruno Walter

Symphonies Nos. 3 'Eroica' and 8 are orchestral symphonies by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1804 and 1812 respectively. The Third Symphony ushers in Beethoven's middle 'heroic' period with expanded form, dramatic thematic development and greater orchestral weight, while the Eighth returns to a more concise, classical clarity with brisk tempi and playful rhythmic invention, reflecting contrasting facets of Beethoven's evolving style and their important place in the development of the symphonic genre.
