This and Bernstein's are the only really great performances of this piece I've ever heard. Thank you so much for posting this.

new fashioned way in an old fashioned way....nice, awesome!!!

My teacher, John Coffey, a trombonist with the BSO during this period, talked of how some musicians couldn't follow Koussevitsky, how the orchestra looked to the Concert Master for the beat, and "Koussie" for the music. What a great combination: Koussevitsky and BSO. It will never be topped. Pure Music.

Interpretação magnífica, heróica,genuinamente beethoveniana.

Szép, de kár, hogy az eleje lemaradt. Abban van zenei utalás a spanyol szabadságharcra.

I have played this before, and I have enjoyed playing this piece. I love Beethoven's Egmont Overture :)

Koussevitzky had a phrase that he used when rehearsing his orchestra he said: "It doesn't sound fantastical". They played the piece until it sounded "fantastical". That's what I'll say about this Egmont, I could say definitive, I'll simply say "fantastical".
