I've always thought Beethoven's "Eroica" was overrated, mainly because the final movement never really did much for me...... I thought it was amongst the "weakest" movements of his nine symphonies.
But then again, my third-favorite Beethoven symphony is his Fourth (behind his Ninth and 7th)..... Which most conductors would rank at the bottom......
