One of my little students showed me this today, and we were laughing hysterically at the sheer, unabashed, GLUTTONY of it!
Somehow, I don’t think this compares well with your favorite conductor who uses the original markings and period instruments.

What a horror. I’ll have the antidote for that up in a bit. Stay tuned.

The first movement according to Roger Norrington. Period instruments, gut strings, small bore reeds and tympani with leather heads, not felt. Quarter note = 88 as posted by Beethoven. Lou drags you up mountains, down valleys, through ravines, and 14'13" later, you’re black and blue and covered with blood, but you feel great! The end just takes your breath away.
Beethoven: Symphony #9 in D minor, Op. 125, first movement #1
first movement #2
