MENDELSSOHN Violin Concerto in E minor
BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 3 "Eroica"
Beethovens "Eroica" marks the turning point from Classicism to Romanticism with its extraordinary scope, bold harmonies, and drama. And its title? Originally dedicated to Napoleon, Beethoven angrily changed his dedication to "Sinfonia Eroica, Composed to Celebrate the Memory of a Great Man," after Napoleon declared himself Emperor. Gil Shaham, recent winner of the coveted Avery Fisher Prize and multiple Grammys, dazzles with lustrous tone and brilliant technique in Mendelssohns jewel of a violin concerto.
