{"product_id":"beethoven-overtures-essential-classics","title":"Beethoven: Overtures (Essential Classics)","description":"Amazon.com\n\nIn case you're wondering, Leonore was the original title of Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio. As its four existing overtures (the three Leonore ones plus Fidelio) show, it gave him a lot of trouble. Leonore No. 2 was actually the first of them, followed by No. 3, which grew to be so impressive that Beethoven himself detached it because it literally blew away the entire first act! For a later revival he composed No. 1, and then finally revised the whole work, changed the name, and wrote Fidelio. All of the other overtures were composed for spoken plays (and one ballet), and are thus the 19th century's answer to movie music. These performances are tops, and at budget price, what are you waiting for? --David Hurwitz\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000029X2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000029X2.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:The Cleveland Orchestra, George Szell, Louis Lane\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
