One of my favourite classical pieces.

Beethoven - 6th Symphony - Pastoral

dave hambidge said...: Oh Andy, what a smashing find! The music is so evocative and the compiler of this video, Steve Brennan has been inspired to link some very inspired photos of his own from Canada.

A beautiful composition, thankyou again.; 17 February 2010 at 19:46

I'd never been a huge fan until seeing the Halle perform his ninth at the old (and sadly missed) Free Trade Hall in Manchester, years ago.

But the sixth has always been my favourite.; 17 February 2010 at 20:40
Andy Holroyd said...: Dave, I was buzzing around the house with the volume whacked up so I missed most of the photos. I'll have to play it again.

Nobbly, seeing the Halle do the 9th must have been quite an experience. I love 'Ode to Joy' too.; 18 February 2010 at 15:11
Kate said...: My favourite composer. Streets ahead of the rest.

And a HUGE thank you for all the blogging information Andy. Thank you for setting it all out so clearly.; 19 February 2010 at 09:32
