Claudio Abbado Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 in E-Flat Major, Op. 55 Eroica - I. Allegro con brio

Claudio Abbado and the Berliner Philharmoniker received enthusiastic acclaim for their Beethoven cycle, performed at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome in February 2001. There were standing ovations after each performance and the critics spoke of seminal moments in the history of music. Claudio Abbado comments on his own Beethoven cycle in Rome: “If you try to look at Beethoven’s world objectively, then an interpretation à la Haydn is just as wrong as an interpretation à la Wagner. Ideally, it should be – and this is the difficulty – Beethoven.“ Claudio Abbado – Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 in E Major, Op. 55: con brio “Eroica“ (excerpt) Listen to 'Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 3': Subscribe here for more classical video clips – The Best Of Classical Music: Discover full concert performances on DG Premium - registration and basic library are free: _______________ Find Deutsche Grammophon Online Homepage: Facebook: Twitter: I _______________
