Beethoven - Symphony No. 5, Carlos Kleiber (1974) - Twilight of the Archons Shorts

This is from the second movement, 2. Andante con moto from a recording by Carlos Kleiber and the Wiener Philharmoniker. This clip got left on the cutting floor of Twilight of the Archons, but I decided to make a short of it. This is the first piece of the music, the second movement of the 5th, that touched my soul. The moment I first heard it is still a vivid memory. Beethoven was my father's favorite composer, and while the son prefers Bach, I still have soft spot for old Ludvig. Father and son concur, however, on the their baseball Giants.

Of course the conductor in the clip is not Carlos Kleiber, but Herbert von Karajan.
