The nature lover Beethoven wrote the Pastorale in 1807 and 1808, parallel to his work on the 5th Symphony. In the 6th Symphony, he processes his impressions as a city dweller in a rural environment and imitates nature sounds with instrumental means. Both works were premiered in a four-hour concert on 22 December 1808 under the direction of Beethoven at the Theater an der Wien.
Bruno Walter's recording, first released in 1958, is one of the reference recordings of the work. His interpretation sounds like a piece of literature or poetry and merges perfectly with the music. The early stereo recording is flawless, making it an audiophile favorite for decades.
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 180-gram vinyl by 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 ("Pastoral"), 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.
"One can debate at length which of the hundreds of recordings of this symphony is superior, but few would debate that this recording has been at the top of many lists of audiophile favorites for decades because of its superior interpretation and remarkable early stereo sound. ... Analogue Productions has thrown its hat in the (reissue) ring with this Harry Pearson Super Disc — one of the best recorded great interpretations of one of the greatest pieces of music that exists. While the top end sheen may be more subdued, the release surpasses the original in depth and width of soundstage and firmness of grip of the orchestra. Highest recommendation." - Dennis D.
