Beethoven Symphonies (Almost) Live

Portrait by Joseph Karl Stieler, 1820.
OK, since I can find several live performances of all Beethoven's 9 symphonies on YouTube, I'm going to post the best I can find here.  We'll of course go in order, so with Symphony No. 1 in C major, Opus 21, here's Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie from Bremen, Germany conducted by Paavo Jarvi in a performance from 2006.  These videos are particularly good in that they include an exposition throughout provided by Robert Greenberg's Teaching Company Wordscore guide. 


I: Adagio molto - Allegro con brio


II: Andante cantabile con moto


Movements III: Menuetto: Allegro molto e vivace and IV: Finale: Adagio - Allegro molto e vivace are included in the same video here.
