Beethoven Symphony 3 Eroica - Bruno Walter 1° Movement (1)

I like Bruno Walter because he's a bridge to an earlier world. He studied under Gustave Mahler.
This symphony was originally called the Napoleon Symphony by Beethoven. But when Napoleon turned into a megolomaniac dictator, Beethoven changed the name to Eroica since it had been meant as a description of a hero.
