After hearing Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 "Eroica," Haydn declared that music would never be the same again. In words and live musical excerpts, renowned conductor and violinist Andrew Manze unlocks the secrets and untangles the myths behind perhaps the greatest of all symphonies. He then leads a full performance of the masterwork featuring Scandinavia’s Helsingborg Symphony. Experience Eroica with fresh ears and a genuine sense of appreciation and discovery.
