- corin_ 16y agoSeems it may actually be more than just a myth. See the penultimate paragraph on http://www.dutchaudioclassics.nl/?strPage=Info&strBrand=Various&strType=The_cd_laser&blnSefURL=true http://www.dutchaudioclassics.nl/?strPage=Info&strBrand=... Wikipedia also gives http://www.aes.org/historical/store/oralhistory/?code=OHP-016-DVD http://www.aes.org/historical/store/oralhistory/?code=OHP-01... as a source for the Beethoven story being true, although you have to buy that interview to actually hear it.
