BEETHOVEN, L. VAN - Symphonies 1&8 (Sealed) (LP)

The history of Beethoven symphonies on record began with the November 1913 recording of the fifth Symphony by Arthur Nikisch and the Berlin Philharmonic. It reaches a fascinating chapter with these recordings by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Herbert von Karajan. They also mark a fascinating stage in the controversial career of Herbert Von Karajan. These symphonies were recorded at Jesus-Christus-Kirche in Berlin.
