Beethoven Symphonies

As part of last week's Beethoven Experience, which broadcast every note that he ever wrote, the BBC are providing a free MP3 download of all 9 of his symphonies. Unfortunately, they are only available for a week after the broadcasts, so Nos 1 & 3 are no longer available. If you want 2, 4 & 5, you'd better get your skates on. The remaining 4 will be broadcast towards the end of the month.

EDIT Buried somewhere in the BBC site is a press release giving the dates of the broadcasts. As is always the way, I have failed miserably to find it again.

Anyone got 1 and 3 at all?

Re: Beethoven Symphonies

I already have all 9 on CD but it's not the BBC R3 recordings and they'd be too large to send over the net :(

Looks like it was popular
BBC

Quote:

Nearly 700,000 listeners of BBC Radio 3 downloaded live performances of Beethoven's first five symphonies, with number one proving the most popular.

The music was performed as part of The Beethoven Experience on Radio 3 and free downloads were available for a week-long trial.

I wish the BBC would have left them up longer by the time I found out about them I missed them all.

You can still get the remaining 4, you've not yet missed them, it's just they're not yet available

Thanks for the reminder :)

(I'd rep you, but you've got them switched off!)

Re: Beethoven Symphonies

I'd get them but they seem pretty "budget-nobody" performances and I'm, shall we say, a tad fussy :)

Plus, I've missed half of them too... what bitrate are they?

Re: Beethoven Symphonies

Has anyone got these? I wouldn't mind a copy? :)

I'd be happy to host the files so everyone get them a copy too... ;)

I've got 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7, but they're 30 - 45 MB in size.

If anyone has 1 and 3 I'd like to get copies of those.

Re: Beethoven Symphonies

Would any recording do? My 1 and 3 are 35 and 71 MB respectively...

I don't see why not, if Caspar will take the uploads.

They're not the same set though, the size is a problem seeing as I can't email them (too big) and I don't have any space to host it... plus, isn't it illegal?

If you wanna there's probably a recording you can pick up on one of the dirt-cheap ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£4/CD labels...
