In Reply to: RE: Beethoven Symphony #9 recommendations? posted by Tracy on May 16, 2017 at 19:23:40
which of his several recordings are currently available on vinyl you will have to search. All will have sound quality below modern. But the performances are peerless!

In my search I came across an unusual set of Toscanini, the 1st and 9th on 45! AFAIK records are cut at the 45 RPM speed to increase fidelity so the sound quality might be acceptable, but the number of breaks needed would probably detract from the performance as a symphonic piece:
Interesting indeed -- I've never seen these before. But note that higher speed is generally for preservation of highest frequencies -- probably not there to begin with. Moreover, note the seller's caveats.

I have lots of the 9th and there's two that I favor - Toscanini's and
Karajan's. note that there are lots of recordings of Arturo's. some
are electronically enhanced for stereo. Toscanini was noted for
his ability to read a score and remember it.
the AT performance is electrifying.
Karajan is romantic and memorable.
