Herbert von Karajans first stereo recording 1944 Anton Bruckner 8th 4th movement

1944 Karajan s first stereo recording. It is a recording during the war. Furtwängler made a stereo recording a while back. In the United States at that time, there was no tape deck for magnetic recording, After the end of the war, I learned about the existence of tape decks in Germany. Soviet troops send tens of thousands of tapes to their own country in the wake of the end of the war I brought it home. Soviet troops kept the tape without discarding it. The tape speed is 77 cm, sec, and in 1943, plasticbased tape was released. It seems that it was completed. The original tape for magnetophon recording was discovered in the Soviet Union in 1989. It was returned to Germany in 1991. Recording location: Prussian State Opera The engineer is Helmut Krüger
