Are You Experienced
It's all Beethoven all the time this week on BBC Radio 3's The Beethoven Experience, where the entire catalogue of Beethoven will be broadcast over the course of one week. As part of this program, Radio 3 puts up a Beethoven symphony for downloading a day after it was broadcast. It's up to the Fifth Symphony (DUN DUN DUN Duuuuuuun) now. According to the schedule on the download page, symphony 6 won't be up until 6/28. All downloads available for 7 days.
The symphonies are performed by the BBC Philharmonic under the baton of Gianandrea Noseda.
Following in Radio 3's commendable footsteps, I've uploaded the first track from Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, taken from this CD. It's not as popular as his symphonies but no less wonderful.
