 Continuing their exploration of Beethoven’s symphonies, François-Xavier Roth and Les Siècles give us an opportunity to rediscover the Eroica in all its modernity and power.
 Thanks to the magic of period timbres, Beethoven’s intended instrumental balances and effects are restored in revelatory fashion.
 The overture to Méhul’s opera Les Amazones, written eight years later, will be a discovery for many listeners.
