Weingartner's 1925 Symphonie Fantastique Posted by Steve Luciani on August 5, 2025, 4:47 pm A new restoration was posted on YouTube's Private Reserve channel this morning. The original was recorded on October 29 and November 1, 1925 at The Scala, London. From the 'liner notes': [...] the pressings are a century old and extremely rare, and there has not been a US issue of it since the age of LPs. There are no current editions in the catalogue, and no shellacs are to be found in the marketplace. If not for Ebay and a bit of luck, this restoration could not exist.
