Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55

Over Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55

Swiss conductor Philippe Jordan and the Orchestre de l'Op?ra national de Paris recorded all of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies in 2014-2015. In this program, Jordan conducts Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, 'Eroica'. Composed in 1803 and 1804, this symphony is regarded as a major turning point in Beethoven's oeuvre as well as Western music history. Symphony No. 3 is longer in duration than any previous symphony. The customary long introduction is replaced by two powerful chords, followed by the introduction of the main theme by the lower strings. The slow second movement is a Funeral March, followed by a quick Scherzo. The fourth and final movement is dominated by a theme from Beethoven's ballet music for 'The Creatures of Prometheus'. This performance was recorded at Op?ra Bastille in Paris, France, in 2014.
