20,000 attend Ludwig von Beethovens burial in Vienna.

The previous day, castings for Beethoven's death mask were taken. The mask appears on a stamp issued in 1947 by Rhineland-Palatinate (area established after World War II by the French military administration in allied-occupied Germany) and in 1952 by Berlin for use in the American, British, and French sectors.

That is awesome! I went to YouTube so I could enjoy it full screen. Watching Grégoire Blanc's hands playing the Thérémin is fascinating. A gorgeous piece of music and a brilliant performance!

... and speaking of hands, I notice Laurent Beeckmans is conducting without a baton, which suggests to me he is primarily a choral person? I couldn't find any biographical information on him, but his compositions tend to support that assumption.

I found some information on Laurent Beeckmans (only French and Flemish).
He is a paedagogue/pianist/conductor / arranger and mathematician. He studied at the Brussels Conservatoire (pianoclass of Evgeny Mogilevsky) and teaches musical theory at the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth.
He leads the chamber orchestra of Edingen (Enghien), the Melomania orchestra and  l'orchestre de chambre de l'Ecole Européenne de Bruxelles.
He forms a pianoduo with Pieter Dhoore (pianoduo Mahler), specialising in transcriptions of orchestral works.
