Beethoven: Symphony No 3

Available for over a year

Nicholas Kenyon sifts through dozens of recordings of Beethoven's ground-breaking Symphony No. 3 and makes a personal recommendation. With his 'Eroica' symphony - unprecedented both in scale and emotional range - Beethoven smashed the mould of classical symphonic form. It's become a must-record work for every self-respecting conductor, reflecting nearly a century of changing fashions in performance practice.
