Description:

Arturo Toscanini left an enormous mark on the history of 20th century music. In the first half of his life, he worked mainly with European and American opera houses, and in the second half of his life, as a concert conductor, he performed a wide range of repertoire at an extremely high standard. The NBC Symphony Orchestra from 1937 is one of the earliest successful examples of media mixing in the art of music. The CD will be reissued in analog LP jacket design. The live concert recording is full of supple cantabile and theatrical excitement. The intensity of the emotional intensity of the performance is unparalleled, with Toscanini's own singing sometimes audible, and yet the performance is a rare masterpiece that never loses its dignified rigor.
