In this episode, we take on Beethoven's revolutionary "Eroica" (Heroic) Symphony No. 3, which the firebrand composer initially dedicated to Napol\xe9on \u2013 until Napol\xe9on declared himself Emperor, that is. Guests include conductor Giordano Bellincampi, who leads the TSO in Beethoven's symphony this weekend, plus resident TSO thespian Bob Clemens, who brings both Beethoven and Napol\xe9on to life right in our studio.
