4. It never fails to send a shiver down my spine. Thank you for posting.

5. Spouse heard it first, live, when Leonard Bernstein conducted during Dag Hammarskjld's funeral

and decided that there was Beethoven and then there are everyone else.

(was an impressionable teen)

I remember Bernstein conducting it after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

6. I've only 'recently' come to the conclusion that

'there (is) Beethoven and then there (is) everyone else.' I DO like the Russians, and other slavs.

8. One of the things I regret in life...

is never learning to appreciate classical music.
