This is simply too cool for words.

This is fantastic! Do you know what the piece is? (I'm grudgingly admitting that I do not. Hope the answer isn't too embarrassing.)

I don't know what it is either, so when somebody answers our question we can both be embarrassed!

A little research has led me to the not so embarrassing conclusion that this is from the Symphony No.2 of Ferdinand Ries. I'm not sure I'd ever even heard of the man, but the ZKO has recorded all his symphonies. It's terrific for them to choose a lesser known composer, but it would be nice for them to give the guy some credit.
