Today's CD Review on BBC Radio 3 carried an item titled Session Report:

"Simon Heighes visits an unusual recording session at the Royal College of Music – where students and early recording experts have teamed up to recreate Arthur Nikisch and the Berlin Philharmonic’s 1913 recording of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. The original recording, one of the earliest one and most successful attempts to record an entire symphony using (close to) a full orchestra, used an acoustic horn to cut into a wax disc. Simon talked to participants in the 2014 re-enactment about the challenges of re-creating a recording process that pre-dated the use of electronic microphones."

This included a discussion of the history of phonograph recording, and will be available online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04wm1nq
