{"product_id":"eroica","title":"Eroica","description":"By the time the first public performance of Beethoven's Symphony No.3 (Eroica) took place in Vienna in 1805, a privileged few had already heard the work at a private play-through at the Lobkowitz Palace in June 1804. Nick Dear's award-winning period drama, starring Ian Hart as Beethoven, brings to life the momentous day that prompted Haydn to remark ‘everything is different from today’. Filmed in 2003.\n\nBONUS FEATURE: Performance option\nSir John Eliot Gardiner's outstanding surround sound recording of Eroica, made with the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique exclusively for this film in the Eroicasaal in Vienna, is available to view as a stand-alone music performance feature.

In fact the domestic scale of the setting is a powerful reminder of the work's vast reach and capacity to shock.\" (The Gramophone) Cast\nIan Hart (Ludwig van Beethoven)\nTim Piggott-Smith (Count Dietrichstein)\nClaire Skinner (Josephine Deym)\nJack Davenport (Prince Lobkowitz)\nFrank Finlay (Joseph Haydn)\nFenella Woolgar (Princess Marie Lobkowitz)\nOrchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique; Sir John Eliot Gardiner\n\nProduction\nCompany: BBC Worldwide\nStage Director: Nick Dear\n\nDisc Information\nCatalogue Number: OA0908D\nDate of Performance: 2003\nRunning Time: 129 minutes\nSound: LPCM Stereo; DTS Surround\nAspect Ratio: 16:9 Anamorphic\nSubtitles: EN, FR, DE, ES, IT\nLabel: Opus Arte\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000936H7S\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000936H7S.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: DVD\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.
