It's as good a reason to celebrate as one can find.



I can only imagine what the audience thought when they heard the premier performance of the Eroica symphony.

Dennis,

Check out the Pentatone Beethoven SACDs. They are superb. A good way to celebrate the birthday.

My Beethoven SACD collection is rather short at present: the Szell 3rd, the Walter 6th, and the Klieber 5th and 7th. Here's to the promised 1964 Herbey and the Berlin Boys SACD set. Who's on Pentatone? Amazon only lists a 1st and 2nd with Marriner.

Re: Happy 233rd Birthday Beethoven

Back in the early 1970s, I bought the Beethoven Bicentennial Collection, a massive LP set that at that time included every known and extant work of Beethoven. We still use some of them for listening and for teaching purposes in our home. This collection must have been quite an effort at the time.

Here is an image of what part of the set looks like:
