Here is on video Brüggen´s first Eroica recorded almost 30 years ago. Lucy van Dael was still concertino of the Orchestra of the XVIII Century.

Thank you for that video Pepe. I had a quick look at the beginning of it and I will watch it in full later.

The great thing about this performance is that it proves that the great Orchestra of the 18 Century was the first to achieve contemporary standards of period performance excellence.
