Symphony No.3 "Eroica"

Synopsis

Frans Brüggen's Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century consists of some forty-five musicians and the structure is based on the 'luxury' orchestras that flourished in Mannheim, Paris and Vienna in the eighteenth century. Specialising in the music of that era, the orchestra uses period instruments or copies of them. Their spectacular rendition of Beethoven's Eroica has won them international acclaim. This live recording comes from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
