Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" / Egmont Overture

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" and the Egmont Overture are orchestral works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1803–1804 and 1809–1810 respectively. The symphony broadened the scale and expressive range of the symphonic form through extended development, complex motivic work and dramatic contrasts, while the overture functions as a concentrated theatrical piece characterised by vivid orchestration and emphatic climaxes.
First released: 1989
