Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony, a one-time personal tribute to Napoleon, is universally recognized as the single piece of music that moved Western civilization from the Classical period to the Romantic. Equally powerful is Elgar’s Cello Concerto, performed by Shauna Rolston, named by Musical America as a “Young Artist to Watch!”
