Beethoven Symphony No. 7
movement 3 & 4
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Felix Weingartner
Columbia L1898-1902
recorded January 1927
This is the RPO 1927 recording. He recorded this symphony three times. With the London SO in 1923, this 1927 recording and in 1936 the famous one with the Wiener Philharmoniker.
This 1927 version is perhaps not as well played as the 1936 one with the VPO, but overall this is a very fine performance with more steady tempi.
I have all 9 of Weingartner's Beethoven 9 symphonies in complete Columbia 78 rpm sets as well as an early 1950's LP reissue of he same recordings. They are all very good!!
