The Columbia Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bruno Walter
Bruno Walter helped shape the very essence of
interpretive style among conductors. Walter's
rendition of Beethoven's sixth symphony is perhaps
the greatest ever recorded ? his reading of the
score comes off sounding like a piece of
literature or poetry, but that is a great thing
and perfectly blends with the music to create a
benchmark recording.
And here, once again, Analogue Productions has
taken a classic and shaped it to make the premier
reissue of this famed LP. Ryan Smith at Sterling
Sound mastered this album from the original analog
tapes. The cut lacquers were plated and pressed
to 200-gram vinyl by our own Quality Record
Pressings. The Stoughton Printing old-style tip-on
gatefold jacket has been upgraded handsomely by a
series of rarely-seen photos of Walter from the
Sony Music Archives. Everything about this reissue
radiates quality.
Written in 1808, Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 in F
Major ('Pastorale'), Op. 68, is deemed one of the
most influential by the famed composer. Unlike the
vast majority of assumed names by which his works
have become known, Beethoven directed from the
very outset that his sixth symphony be titled
'Pastoral Symphony', or a recollection of country
life. It was a musical approach to the forces of
nature that inspired Beethoven.
Walter's late life was marked by stereo recordings
with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble
of professional musicians assembled by Columbia
Records for recordings.
Originally released in 1958, this recording still
sounds fresh, with a broad soundstage, persuasive
depth, and a remarkable sense of 'air' and
presence. Simply because of Walter's vibrant,
fluid interpretation, taking into account both
variable tempi and heightened accents, the result
is one of the most passionate, awe-inspiring
recorded versions of this symphony that's ever
been recorded.
