DOWNLOAD: BEETHOVEN 9 WEINGARTNER LSO 1926

[largo]

Hello all, I've decided to throw my hat into the ring and offer some
tranfers from the 78 rpm era. I'll start with the first electrical
recording of the Beethoven 9 with Felix Weingartner and the London
Symphony. This was recorded just several months before the Coates
version that Bill posted. What's interesting is that it's the same
orchestra performing as the Coates, but due to contracture reasons,
HMV couldn't list the orchestra as the London Symphony. Here's the
info

Miriam Licette - soprano
Muriel Brunskill - alto
Hubert Eisdell - tenor
Harold Williams - bass

Recorded by Columbia in their Petty France studio on March 16 and 17,
1926

There is a fair amount of surface noise from this set, I used an
equalizer sparingly while copying the discs, but I think that the ear
quickly adjusts to this. Enjoy

Christmas comes early!

Greg - Thanks so much for posting this important set. Listening now as
I type. I have an old Japanese LP of this, but have not heard it in
years, and I don't remember it sounding so clear.

We appreciate the effort on this, especially the pitch problems that
so many early Columbias had.

- Bill

Bill,
Many thanks for your kind words. You mentioned this performance on
your Coates post, thought it would be interesting to compare
performances. I'll be posting more of these Columbia Beethoven
symphonies in the future. Thanks again,

Greg

A fascinating performance indeed, which I've already had in some earlier
editions on LP and CD. By any chance, would you have the "Arlésienne"
excerpts Weingartner recorded for American Columbia in 1914?

I don't have it in my collection, but I know where I can find a copy.
The flip side is the Fire Music from Walkure - I think.

That would be great if you could transfer and share it here. The "Walküre"
excerpt is a much lower priority, in my opinion -- it was on one of those
Columbia "The Sound of Genius" compilation LPs, and is presently available on
an Arbiter CD.

Some US pressings of this are cleaner than others.I own one from the
late 30s,that sounds a lot better than the (black) one I heard from
the Viva-Tonal era.I have some blue shellacs on Weingartner,but this
ain't one of them.I recently bought the 1950 Lp transfer of the Brahms
#2,also quite good,but my favorite Weingartner disc ,is my Lp test
pressing of the "Hammerklavier" orchestrations.I've bookmarked
this,and will download it when I can,to see how you did on it.

Hey, I've got this already ;-)
Downloaded it end of 2007, the exact same file. It's good.
