Discovering Beethoven Part 2

Part 2 of 5
Michael Tilson Thomas discusses Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E flat Major Opus 55 'Eroica',with the assistance of the London Symphony Orchestra, recorded at the Barbican, London.
This was first broadcast by the B.B.C. in the early 1990's, (Tilson Thomas was principal conductor of the LSO from 1988- 95).
The transfer is from an old VHS tape but I think that the quality is acceptable.
Due to Youtube's 10 minute video length rule I have attempted to make the cutting of the programme into several parts as sympathetic as possible.
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and illuminating.
