  • How could this have been recorded with only TWO microphones?

    The snare drum is so clear yet it has no microphone; this must be all faked in some way.

    Also, at 2:07, you can see a motion picture camera and operator on a scaffold.

  • Actually phaasch,this is near the end of his life.It was written in 1901,the film is 1931,20 years later. He was a legend during his life,fortunately. :-)

  • Outstanding! When I listen it I always remember the moment when I got my degree.

  • The footage at the start is fantastic!

  • Witness the birth of a legend

  • Skip to 2:26 for Previn's interpretation.

  • It needs a little more circumstance and a bit less pomp. Just my opinion, however.
