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 :)
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".
