In Reply to: BBC surveys 151 conductors - Beethoven Sym. No 3 chosen as the greatest symphony posted by John C. - Aussie on August 19, 2016 at 18:25:15:
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......
