Volume 227: Beethoven's 4th & 5th

We now pull out the third record from this seven disk box set. A record that features a relatively unknown work AND probably one of the most famous works in music history. Talk about a dichotomy.

 

This is music from the immortal Ludwig Van Beethoven. His symphonies live on in performances to this very day.

 

Plus I decided to play three movements from each symphony. I thought this joint needed some classing up.

 

So, settle in and get ready to hear the man who is said to have set music free in Volume 227: Beethoven's 4th & 5th.

 

For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it. 

 

Here is the promised Leonard Bernstein video.
