Beethoven (1944, Stereo): Allegro from Concerto for piano and orchestra No.5 - Gieseking/RO Berlin

In the cadenza and some quiet passages you can hear the artillery from outside the RRG-building (2´30"+, 5´40"+). For me this is just unbelievable, a historical document and an impressive testimonial against war.
Historic Stereo-Recording from 1944 with Walter Gieseking as soloist and Arthur Rother and the Großes Berliner Rundfunkorchester. 2009 we can celebrate the 65th anniversary of stereophonic tape recordings. So I thought it might be interesting to upload a few recordings that Mr. Helmut Krüger made at the RRG in Berlin in the early 40´s with the AEG-Telefunken K7 stereo tape recoder (Krüger was nicknamed by his radio colleagues Krüger-Krüger, in witty reference to his habit to record everything in stereo).
After the soviets brought the complete RGG-archive to Moscow in 1945 unfortunately from the hundreds of Stereo recordings only a handful found their way back to Berlin. And in a very bad condition.
The over 60 years old tape was transfered directly to digital equipment w i t h o u t any processing.

70 years ago it was possible to create a perfect sounding record... Superb audio quality of DVD- audio, SACD, ultra-high bit rates and other stuff looks like a total marketing BS after hearing this!

@salsadance999 It's just a quiet drum head sequence, evenly marking the rhythm of this piece. Romanticism? =)

Thank you so much for posting this remarkable document, and the sound is stunning. Does the First movement also survive - and if so may we have it please!
