Goldmark: Rustic Wedding Symphony. Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. (1953)

Robert Goldmark (1830-1915) was a Hungarian born composer whose career was largely spent in Vienna. He was well known in his day, and the Rustic Wedding Symphony, completed in 1875, was one of his most popular works in his lifetime. However his star did not continue to shine brightly, and today his works are infrequently played in concert or on recordings with the exception of his Violin Concerto. Not every LP from the past is a masterpiece, and certainly this Goldmark symphony, while enjoyable is not an exceptional musical work. However, the final movement is quite good, and frankly, I feel is the most memorable part of this work. For a recording done in 1953, this was very well recorded. Compared to most LPs of this vintage, this one needed the minimum adjustment for it to sound to be consistent with RIAA standards. I continue to be impressed at the quality of the work done by recording engineers at the advent of the LP format. In addition, Beecham does a masterful job keeping the symphony flowing along.
