Holy Smokes ol' buddy

I used to play french horn and I know this song quite well.
Yes, cut out some major parts, very well done otherwise.

But, substantially longer is the correct version, probably
because of YouTube, yes, about half the song there is.
But a great song nonetheless.

Got to find it this time.

Merry christmas

Yeah, it is a long one. I can find the overture and parts of the symphony, but not the full length version on YouTube, so far. You might be better off looking for an mp3 or flac.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

That's not political correct! >:(

And Merry Christmas though it's too early to say it :) :-*

I love the sheer power of Verdi. The conductor gets 10/10 in this too  ;D
