Back to big classical...

Here is one of the most famous symphonies in the classical world, Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Opus 67 in C-minor. Performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the iron fist of Hungarian-American conductor Fritz Reiner. This recording was made in August 1959 - a time when the Chicago orchestra was at its peak and had what was likely the best collection of horn players in the world.

The video here is from an original RCA Shaded Dog, (LSC-2343). The LP was made in Chicago's Orchestra Hall, engineered by Lewis Layton and produced by Richard Mohr.

The opening movement is dramatic and often characterized as "Fate knocking at the door.." The video covers the entire 1st Movement.
