The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Arthur Nikisch performing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony on HMV D91 is one of the landmark recordings in the history of the gramophone. Nikisch's 1913 acoustic recording of the Fifth was the first complete symphony ever committed to disc and remains one of the most important records ever made.
