Toscanini's 1939 Beethoven Symphony Cycle Posted by Steve Luciani on May 3, 2024, 2:19 am I'd just like to point out the 9th was not broadcast from Studio 8H on December 2, 1939, but from Carnegie Hall. And if you're not a fan of artificial reverberation, you might want to give these a listen. I find them cleaner and more detailed than the Pristine restorations, especially with headphones, but I understand the appeal of 'ambient stereo' processing for some. I guess I'm just a purist! :)
