Beethoven: Symphony No. 8, op. 93, in F – II. Allegretto Scherzando

Turn up your speakers and sit back. Way back.  This delicate ditty has some surprising outbursts in store.  And this recording takes full advantage of digital music’s ability to encompass a very wide range of loudness.  Beethoven wanted only soft or loud in this piece, with nothing in-between.

WARNING: This High Dynamic Range (HDR) recording is not suitable for in-car listening.
