Beethoven Symphony No. 3 - William Steinberg - Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

A classic re-revealed...

Steinberg assisted Toscanini at the NBC Symphony and his Beethoven exhibits much of the energy and drive of his mentor. I had a couple of the Command Classics when they first appeared (on LP) and considered them state-of-the-art at the time. 35mm mastering improved S/N ratio and dynamic range, so those masters were better than many DDD masters made since. It is a shame that Universal has chosen not to release a set of the complete Steinberg/Command recordings. They were probably the best both musically and technically of his career.

Another best version of Eroica Symphony

nice transfer and superb sound
