Beethoven: Symphony No 7 (1936) Weingartner

Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92 1. Poco sostenuto – Vivace (00:06) 2. Allegretto (12:02) 3. Presto – Assai meno presto (20:18) 4. Allegro con brio (28:28) Felix Weingartner, conductor Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Recorded on February 24/25/26, 1936 in the Grosser Musikvereinsaal, Vienna Felix Weingartner's place in music history is a significant one. A celebrated conductor during the 19th century, he brought the orchestral style and tone of that time into the 20th century recording studio. We we may not find a more authoritative representation of 19th century performing style than his recordings which, fortunately, are numerous. Known as an uncompromising talent on the podium, he was a pioneer in the recording studio as well. Rather than use the standard practice of A,B, and C takes in early recording, he introduced the modern practice of taking until correct. Weingartner did not rush his sessions; if a symphony, like the present one, required three days to record properly he took three days to record it. The first conductor to record the entire Beethoven Symphonic Cycle, his performances are still regarded as among the finest. This is from his second effort to record the set with electrical technology. Notice how he arranged the orchestra to ensure that it recorded properly, another one of his many innovations in the studio. One may notice slight pitch variations at the side changes. This is early recording, and they were inventing the process as they went along without the benefit of any modern electronic tuning methods that are used in the studio today. In 1936 there was no session playback, and musicians and engineers recorded multiple sides "in the blind". Simple atmospheric changes from one day to the next could make "perfect" tunings between takes very challenging to achieve. This is based on the M.O.T. transfer, which is the best available today.
