I can't remember if I might have posted this here before, but I don't think I have.


This is a BBC TV movie, and at the same time, it's a performance of Beethoven's 3rd symphony.  It's a regular movie with characters, plot, dialog, costumes, cinematography; and the orchestra are among the characters as well.


It's a real orchestra playing period correct instruments; and it's a portrayal of the original orchestra's sight reading the 3rd symphony for the first time, among other plot elements; a private premier of the piece for one of Beethoven's benefactors.  It's based on the actual event, including the "mistake" by the horn player.


The piece itself was revolutionary for its time, as is shown in the comments of the listeners and orchestra members.


In my view, the movie enhances one's appreciation for the piece.  And it's a wonderful performance of a great piece of music.

Dave you are correct, that movie did enhance the appreciation of the music, it drew me in and the characters reactions really exemplified what music is, excitement, melancholy, joy, etc.... so much more than the notes on the paper.  I felt as if I was there experiencing how transformative that very moment in time was.

Wonderful.

Bravo!

Paul; I'm glad you liked it!

The Geri Allen video was nice; thanks, Rob.

Very nice, David! 

I've been listening to a lot of jazz.  I've recently discovered Spotify, and the "Coffee Table Jazz" station.  Lots of cool stuff on there and lots of music that is just rhythm section stuff (bass, piano, drums).  It's inspired me to go back and work on my jazz chops after ignoring that stuff for over a decade.   

Glocke, Jazz is great, fun to listen to and play...for a bass player it's a continuous improvised solo...love it!
