Los Angeles Philharmonic & Carlo Maria Giulini – Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 In E-Flat Major, Op. 55 – Vinyl LP

High Quality

Beethoven began composing his third symphony shortly after his increasing deafness and suicidal thoughts became public knowledge. The ‘heroic’ style of this symphony can be interpreted as a musical expression of his triumph over personal suffering. But the symphony also has enormous musical significance: with the ‘Eroica’, Beethoven expanded the symphonic form and thus changed the expectations of a four-part symphony for the next two centuries. Giulini’s recording with Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra is highly regarded as a reference recording.
