Classics of the Phonograph with John Frayne
10 am Saturday
The year 1927 was the 100th year commemoration of Beethoven’s death. Recording companies resolved to make it a milestone year. Electrical recording had arrived in 1925, and in London, the first complete set of Beethoven symphonies was recorded in the new sound. I’ll play recordings by those conductors who made that centennial so memorable.
