Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 and two Wagner pieces are performed by the Berlin State Opera, while Leonore No. 3 is by the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. All recordings are from 1939 to 1943. Naturally, the sound quality is poor, but this is more like listening to a documentary than enjoying the music itself. The spine of the obi (sleeve) is faded, but the liner notes are clean, and the CD itself is also clean.
