June 9, 1804, Beethoven holds his first rehearsal of Symphony No. 3 at the palace of Prince Lobkowitz. Among the attendees are Count Dietrichstein, a self-style musical aficionado and cultural counterpoint to Beethoven, and Haydn himself who comes tardy near the end of the performance.
The editing of this film is most precise as the camera trails and jumps from guest to guest capturing the changes in their moods and emotions as they circle and walk through the orchestra. The editing also seems to be spot-on as it bounces from musician to musician synched to the soundtrack.
No. 3 was one of the first LPs I bought as a kid and I never realized that it was such a breakthrough much the same as 'Rite of Spring' in its disregard for form in addition to its overall bombast sound. Near the end Haydn (Frank Finlay) has that "I'm SO OVER" look about him and says so in more veiled words.
I guess this BBC production is for Beethoven lovers as Beethoven (Ian Hart) was the weakest link in the cast.
No trailer available but these last few minutes should suffice.
