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 reference recording.

Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and edited the original 4- and 8-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. Released on 180-gram vinyl records with deluxe gatefold jackets with original covers and lyrics, the series is limited and numbered, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and tape boxes.
