Beethoven Symphonies

Earlier today i read [livejournal.com profile] poliphilo blog about Beethoven and his piano oeuvre and likewise i am also enthused about the symphonies, in particular the third symphony, the Eroica, which comes in so powerful after the more classical number one and two.

I have listened to the first three this evening and will look forward to the others over the next few days.

The versions by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic are great overall, but here is a version of the second movement of No.3 by Nicholas Harnoncourt and the Chamber Orchestr of Europe.





Enjoy.
