More info
Together with principal conductor Kristiina Poska, Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen releases all symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven on cd. For some time now, the symphonies of this master have formed a reference point for the orchestra, a brightly illuminated beacon at the heart of symphonic literature.
The second volume in this series combines Beethoven's Second and Third Symphony. Although Beethoven's Second Symphony follows the classical trajectory of his First Symphony, it marks a transition from his earlier works to a more assertive and individual style. You hear his pride and personal struggle against his advancing deafness.
Beethoven's Third Symphony, 'Eroica', represents a monumental shift in the symphonic genre and breaks with conventional norms. It revolutionizes symphonic composition by expanding the scope, duration and expressive possibilities of the symphony. With this, Beethoven lays the foundation for Romanticism in music.
