One Beethoven a day keeps sadness away.

Beethoven isn't writing
ABOUT revolution, he
IS, the revolution
personified,
for others to follow.

Beethoven always goes deep into my heart. It's unbelievable.

So beautiful, so joyful and expressive, fresh and narrative... Awake the imagination and transport the soul to a green and beautiful place full of life...

Excellent! And this is the FIRST TIME the videographer hasn't gotten on my nerves, constantly recording only a certain group of musicians. Or recording EVERY instrument that plays a part.
I love how they captured the entire orchestra, as they are seen by attendees. And this is the FIRST TIME I have seen faces.of cellists, violists, and bass players, along with violinists, of course.
Thank you for a beautiful rendition of the Pastoral Symphony. I play viola and just LOVE Beethoven. ❤❤❤❤
