▶ NOTES
☞ The year 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven's birth. Although there is no official record of his birth, his baptism was recorded on 17 December 1770 and, so, his birth is assumed, by custom, to be the day prior, 16 December 1770. Beethoven died, at age 56, on 26 March 1827.
☞ The orchestra on this recording —the Symphony of the Air— is noteworthy. In 1937, the NBC television network created its own world-class symphony orchestra, called, of course, the NBC Symphony Orchestra. When the network disbanded the ensemble seventeen years later, in 1954, many of the musicians regrouped as the Symphony of the Air. The troupe played together until 1963 for occasional broadcasts, such as this one, and several commercial recordings.
☞ Photographer's note:
---> This concerto —particularly this recording, in my father's collection— was a favorite of mine as a young teenager...and even now.
---> Digitizing the record collection, one vinyl LP (or EP or 45-rpm) at a time.
