The AI discussion about 100 years of recordings of Beethoven Symphonies

This week’s podcast is the last in a cycle of four. Using the same sources as the Hi-Fi Hobbyist did last week, our AI protagonists discuss the significance of the key recordings of Beethoven’s 9 Symphonies.  This week’s music accompanying the podcast are selections from an early recording of Arturo Toscanini conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 in F major, Opus 68, the ‘Pastorale' at the Queen's Hall, London in 1937, first released in 1943 and now in the public domain and available at Wikimedia Commons. Listen for the genuine surface noise of a 78 rpm shellac record faithfully reproduced on the digital transcription!  I hope you enjoy the discussion and want to listen to more podcasts from the HiFi Hobbyist, including the last three about the Beethoven Symphonies, if you have arrived at this one first!
