"There can be no doubt that in 1969, the Cleveland Orchestra tuned to A = 440Hz, so, the real question is, what happened?"
After getting accounts of the Cleveland Orchestra tuning "noticeably flatter" than visiting orchestras by both ushers and patrons at Severance Hall (from direct conversation inside the place), and by listening to recordings released prior to the Severance Hall renovation (can be demonstrated on YouTube clips), I was under the impression that the Cleveland Orchestra tuned closer to A=436Hz..... (The recordings of the Orchestra after the Severance Hall renovation were noticeably sharper, right at A=440.)
This could mean that the Oistrakh recording may have been speeded up yet even more..... (Unless Szell actually did use 440 at the time.)
