Wagner, Mozart, Beethoven: 1952 Soundtrack to Botschafter der Musik - Part 1



From the extremely rare LP shown above, issued in 1955 on the Period Records label. All images are from the LP and slipcase, front and reverse. Recordings of the Prelude from Der Meistersinger, Beethoven's Coriolan Overture, and the finale from Mozart's 40th Symphony.

Several scholarly works exist that address the myriad issues in the film for which this music was a soundtrack. Online, more information about this recording is available in a working paper from the University of Edinburgh (MHRA Working Papers in the Humanities, 2 (2007), ISSN: 1994-8662, 19-29) here:
