- Wife AstoundingMy wife claims this is my 11th recording of the Beethoven 3rd Symphony. Even if, it is my only visual recording (having lost my old Zubin Mehta VHS version). The music is great, iconoclastic for the period. There are some speculative liberties taken with the history in regards to Beethoven's personal relationships but by in large, quite a bit of it is fairly accurate. I was pleasantly surprised.

The complete performance of Beethoven's 3rd Symphony is enough to recommend it. However, the acting, direction, editing, and cinematography are of the highest caliber. There is minimal dialogue, ...

- Intriguing conceptThis CD represents an intriguing concept: a drama based on the first performance (a kind of rehearsal) of Beethoven's magnificent Symphony # 3, originally dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte (but changed after learning of Bonaparte's accession to Emperor). A lot of dramatic elements are encapsulated in this BBC production. The music, I think, dominates, but here I will review the drama (at another point, I may review the symphony itself, which is also included on this CD).
The music itself ... Read More
