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