Symphony No. 5 I listened first time when I was 12 and since then it is my absolute favourite as well as Beethoven is. Can hear it at any time...
People will listen it the next centuries, indeed!

starting to like this guy Beethoven, he might have it to make it to the top-ten... anyone knows his Tweeter handle or facebook page to find out about gigs near home?

Good to see someone using "literally" in its literal sense.

Classic?  Probably the definition.

Rock?  Yeah, this rocks.  Ask your woofers and tweeters.

This is a good pick.  I don't always like your selection of orchestral performances, but this one is enjoyable.  For example, I might upload a different performance of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, because I really don't care for the one you play. I like the recording by I Musici, for example.

So he put the finishing touches on it based on what was going on in his head.  It boggles the mind what he must have been feeling/thinking during that phase.  "Hearing" the complete piece before anyone else.  Who needs drugs when you've got that kind of capability, eh?  ;-)

I am particularly proud that the Radio Paradise collective have rated this a 9.2 in what is a modern popular music station. It means that I am in the company of good taste.

If anyone knows the name of that film, I'd so love to see it again.
 
Try "A Clockwork Orange." No, it's not the film you are looking for, but the "angle trumpets and devil trombones" are noteworthy.

I recall with a smile how our Appreciation of Music teacher at CU boldly proclaimed on the first day of class that "Rock and Roll is actually a modernized form of Classical Music — it's all just based on a repetition of a theme, with variations, and a satisfying 'return to Tonic'..." and how titters and snickers went around the classroom until he set a needle down on a record and boomed, "that's right, folks, without THIS, there would have been no Rock and Roll..." and we were stunned and amazed to learn this, and grinned or hid tears in unison as we all felt its power in our bones and had no choice but to agree!  ROCK ON, LUDWIG VAN!
