Because no one asked, My Continuing trip through the 9 Beethoven symphonies, 4&5

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Amazed to discover I had never, in over 60 years of listening and playing, heard the Fourth. Almost hard to believe it was Ludwig von. Joins my group of favs, 1, 6, 7, and now 4.

My goodness, Szell can't wait to get the First Movement of the Fifth behind him, con brio and then some! Or perhaps he was anxious to get on to the Second Movement which from the opening bars he makes a Top 5 most beautiful moments in music. I found it hard to pay attention to the rest, I was so taken with it.

These two symphonies continue the class act of the Columbia engineers in presenting a credibly real orchestra in the living room if you have the system for it.
