Toscanini's Best Beethoven Recording! Symphony No 7 (1936) NYP

Many consider this to be the best of Toscanini's many Beethoven recordings. It has been newly remastered for this edition in 2019.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 7 in A Major, op.92

1. Poco Sostenuto: Vivace (00:05)
2. Allegretto (11:35)
3. Presto Meno Assai; Presto (20:22)
4. Allegro Con Brio (27:30)

Arturo Toscanini, conducting
The Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York

Recorded April 9-10, 1936 at Carnegie Hall, New York City

This recording stands out among Toscanini's best, even by his meticulous standards, this represents him at his most inspired. As he put so much effort into it, it was only natural to take another, and much closer look, at the recording.

This is not a stereo recording. It was mastered with a technology we call FAR (Field Acoustic Re-imaging). This results in a sound which resembles stereo, which was originally developed to image field acoustics.
