Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No 3

Review by Lotta Holmström

Symphony No 3, also known as the Eroica Symphony, is a masterpiece of Ludwig van Beethoven. The album is a collection of four movements that were composed between 1802 and 1804. The album is a must-have for any classical music lover, as it showcases Beethoven's genius and his contribution to the development of symphonic music.

The first movement, Allegro con brio, is an energetic and dynamic piece that sets the tone for the entire album. The second movement, Marcia funebre: Adagio assai, is a funeral march that is solemn and mournful, conveying the depth of emotion that Beethoven was capable of. The third movement, Scherzo: Allegro vivace, is a playful and lively piece that showcases Beethoven's ability to create music that is both light-hearted and complex. The final movement, Allegro molto, is a triumphant piece that brings the album to a satisfying conclusion.

The album is performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Sir Simon Rattle. The orchestra's performance is flawless, capturing the nuances of Beethoven's music and conveying the emotions that he intended to evoke. The album is a testament to the skill and talent of the orchestra and their conductor.
