Egmont: Complete Incidental Music

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Pilar Lorengar & Klausjürgen Wussow & Wiener Philharmoniker & George Szell

Egmont: Complete Incidental Music is a collection of incidental music composed by Ludwig van Beethoven for Goethe's play Egmont, completed and first performed in 1810. The score combines robust orchestral writing, dramatic gestures and lyrical interludes characteristic of the late Classical transitioning into the early Romantic style, and it represents Beethoven's engagement with programme-driven theatrical music during his middle period.
First released: 1996
