BEETHOVEN, L. van: Symphony No. 5 / Sonata No. 29 (orch. Weingartner) (1930, 1933)
Together with the nine symphonies, various overtures, the Third Piano Concerto and the Triple Concerto, this release completes the Naxos series of Weingartner recordings of the composer with whom he remains most closely identified. Weingartner’s fourth recording of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 is coupled on this disc with his unique transcription of the Hammerklavier Sonata. Just as Liszt popularised so many other nineteenth-century composers’ orchestral works with his own brilliant keyboard transcriptions, so Weingartner’s rôle reversal with the Hammerklavier, in an age when symphony concerts were more accessible, can perhaps be seen as a compliment from one great artist, and composer, to a revered favourite.
