  • The best version of Egmont that I've heard. Thanks for posting this.

  • 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".

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

  • THE REAL BEETHOVEN ! IS THE BETTER VERSION OF ALL . SORRY CELIBIDACHE , FURTWÄNGLER , KARAJAN .

  • death metal from XIX century... ._.

  • 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.

  • A sound source of this place resembles the record whice I listened to

    for the first time in elementary school days closely very much, and there

    is me and can have you tell it with an at all good old feeling.

    Thank you very much.

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