Beethoven's 5th Symphony

Here is a great recording of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, 4th movement performed by Toscanini and the Boston Symphony.  It brings back memories from my youth!

Beethoven's 5th Symphony, 4th movement

Beethoven's 5th and 6th Symphonies were composed in 1807-1808 and premiered on the same concert in Vienna with many other works by the composer.  It lasted over 4 hours!  Be glad you normally attend a concert for just an hour or so!
