Beethoven Symphony No. 2 doesn't get enough love.

Here is a live performance from Royal Albert Hall featuring young musicians from the West–Eastern Divan Orchestra, an orchestra that consists of musicians from countries across the Spanish world and the Middle East—of Egyptian, Iranian, Israeli, Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, and Hispanic background.

This performance is wonderful.

The beautiful thing about our little corner of Mastodon is that there are almost never any earnies but just in case I'll say this for the record:

Beethoven gets an over the top amount of love and is programmed all the time. I just mean that Beethoven 2 doesn't get enough love compared to the other Beethoven symphonies.

As you were!
