Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4, Anatole Fistoulari/Royal Phil. Orch., rec 1970 restored

The normal Kingsway Hall routine done. This recording had such a twisted stereo image. In the early 1970s there was a quadrophonic craze, could they have recorded the piece in 4 channels and somehow messed up the result? The midpoint was all over the two channels. I could not see this one on the 4-channel recordings list though. Anyways I used both the phase correction of the Audition and manual adjustments, and the recording now has a midpoint of some stability. Compare to the original Mov. I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHEL3rmhMOE Artistically perhaps nothing extraordinary here. Anatole Fistoulari (1907-1995) recorded a bunch of Tchaikovsky and other Russian music for Decca mainly. He was married to Gustav Mahler's daughter. Due to his arthritis he gave up conducting in the late 1970s. 0:00 Andante sostenuto — Moderato con anima — Moderato assai, quasi Andante — Allegro vivo 20:16 Andantino in modo di canzona 31:23 Scherzo: Pizzicato ostinato 37:21 Finale: Allegro con fuoco
