Ned Pepper's Outrages

Consecration of the House

This overture by Beethoven has in the first two minutes one of the great themes of Romantic music. But there is another reason to view it. If Ned's friends go to Google videos and select the version by the Hungarian Philharmonic Orchestra, Zoltán Kocsis conducting, they will not only be treated to a great work, but they will see a conductor who seems to Ned for all the world like George Bush trying to teach his ratlike dog Barney a new trick!
Enjoy!
