BBC has good stuff on Beethoven

[Harvey]

Fascinating illustrated article on the Eroica.

Download of BBC Radio Orchestra playing Beethoven's 2nd Symphony with spoken introduction. I find this is a pretty decent rendition of the 2nd symphony, but I am not exactly qualified to judge musical works. If you search for internet archive and Beethoven symphony BBC you will find symphonies 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
