I grew up with the Antal Dorati recording with the London Symphony on Mercury Records from 1961; a demo of the power of stereo, as the opposing "forces" moved onto the field of battle from opposite speakers and the engagement took place in the middle of one's living room. The record jacket also included a history of the piece, which Beethoven composed to be performed on an early automaton.

Porque eres un buen amigo, nadie lo puede negar "Ludwing Van Beethoven.

[@mstrubell]

I'm surprised so many people (including Deutsche Grammafon itself!) refer to this opus as "Wellington's Victory". The name comes from a battle the Duke of Wellkington one, to be sure, but it was the Battle of Vitoria, in the Basque country.

[@galec7429]

And you comes from the 19th century i think

[@Mike-zh1ew]

Well, that’s the shorthand name for the piece, don’t see anything unusual

[@weeddegree]

Yes it was Vitoria, the french line got cut and left Spain’s loot behind

[@davidwahrheit6143]

The title IS "Wellington's Sieg oder Die Schlacht bei Vittoria" (Wellington's Victory or the Battle of Vittoria).

[@gamerboy-jh3qx]

This song is best. I listened to this when I was little

[@erronblack5015]

Its not a song tho

[@ripast2605]

2:30 PORQUÉ ES UN BUEN COMPAÑERO!!!! PORQUÉ ES UN BUEN COMPAÑERO!!!!

[@marcraider]

Muy buena observación, así que de ahí viene ese cantito tan conocido, Beethoven nunca deja de sorprenderme.

[@cedesfar]

En realidad es de una canción tradicional francesa: Malborough se fue a la guerra. Beethoven la adaptó al igual que Rule Britannia en el minuto 1:14 para simbolizar las canciones patrióticas de ambos bandos

The female cello player in the front with her hair put up reminds me a lot of my daughter's teacher.

Years agi,I played this recording to a group of 6 year olds.They seemed to understand the story very well.

[@williamcase3494]

The absolute anthem for "meh, it'll do"

From Baby Beethoven

[@arc1419]

The good stuff begins at 9:10

[@joncheskin]

It's true--Beethoven did in fact write "The Bear Went Over the Mountain".

[@user-zi7ut8zr3v]

מדהים. אחת החשובות ביותר של בטהובן. ביחד עם 4 Season by Vivaldi.

[@kurochkinamariya]

Why did you use Russian flag instead of French?🤔

[@shalevad-el6871]

1. More Russians in the orchestra. You don’t want trouble with them. Believe me. 2. When you order a French flag on eBay , it’ll most probably come from China.

[@JohnnyNorfolk]

Beethove at first supported Napleons goal , but turned against him when it showed just how evil he was. So no the French flag should not be shown.

[@NoahR-ze6iu]

My favorite is 9:10

[@222mozart]

Beethoven würde sich im Grabe umdrehen, sähe er das zerlumpte Auditorium. Pfui Teufel. Der Trauermarsch wurde sehr, sehr schön interpretiert!!

[@barbelwurth6153]

Das ist aber nicht die französische Fahne da rechts

[@stephengould4343]

Doesn't matter. The French still lost :)

[@hans-ruedi1545]

Beethovens best Work?

[@detectivehome3318]

@Мамонт worst in his harsh standards. Not in mine.

[@A_29886]

@Мамонт Woah did i just disagree with beethoven 😳

[@joncheskin]

Not in my estimation, but some people like it.

[@KerbalHub]

Very bad 10/10

[@celestino001]

9:55 w his face expressions i'm surprised that we didnt hear errors made. very distracting he's way of running the show

[@dfdhgtrss212]

snob

[@erronblack5015]

Have you not seen other renowned conductors do that??
