Beethoven

That’s a segment of Beethoven’s “8th Symphony,” from a CD called Daydreams and Lullabies, a Celebration of Poetry, Song and Classical Music.

That’s part of Haydn’s “Surprise Symphony” set to words on a CD called Beethoven’s Wig,” which features such other favorites as Bach’s “Bouree” for guitar, Delibes’ “Pizzicato from Sylvia,” and a most astonishing version of Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.”

You’re hearing the concluding section of the first movement of Ludwig von Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony, played by Robert LaFond and his orchestra on their CD, Snoopy’s Classiks on Toys.
