Beethoven Symphony No. 5, 4th mvt--Arturo Toscanini/NBC Sy

Telecast March 22, 1952 from Carnegie Hall, New York City

in the notes, Mortimer H. Franks reports that the engineers were unfamiliar with Carnegie Hall, and that explains the less than ideal camera shots and directions.

Also, the hot lights got the 85 year old Toscanini sweating so much that by the end of the symphony he had to close his eyes and bear it! He never telecasted another concert live again.

Beethoven conducting:

7:48 Beethoven: OK, that's good, correct...

8:17 Beethoven: Stop, STOP! You idiots, I told you the trumpets should sound louder!

Trumpet players: OK, sorry man.

Beethoven: ...From the beginning.

All players together: From what beginning???

Beethoven: FROM THE BEGINNING!!!

DUM DUM DUM DUUUUM...

@N2peopleskills ...and still while I listen with my eyes closed I can't stop seeing that bunch of kids flying them bicycles in front of the moon. I had to check. Williams score is different. Still.

Прослушанный отрывок, сложно охарактеризовать, из-за многоплановости в изложении тем, и в этом весь Бетховен. Торжественное произведение, революционное повествование, окрашенное трагическим сопровождением. Светлая тема, тут же через минуту прерывается, как бы барабанным набатом ударных инструментов, предупреждая нас, о тех бедах и несчастьях, которые несут с собой любая революция или военные действия

I was smiling the whole time today when I saw the Toronto Symphony Orchestra perform this today! I was with some music classes from my school. This movement is amazing! Or should I say all of them are! :')

I am glad to hear classical segments in our movies. Its the only exposure our children get. I remember the school used to take the 6th graders to hear a symphony. They stopped doing that when I got to the 6th grade. I guess the parents thought it would distroy their children. Drugs took over our schools instead I guess they are Happy now.
