Description:

Arturo Toscanini left an enormous mark on the history of 20th century music. In the first half of his life, he performed mainly in 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 album will be reissued in its original analog LP jacket design. Falstaff" is the opera that Toscanini conducted most frequently at the theater, and the concert performance in April 1950 was meticulously rehearsed for six hours a day for six weeks, resulting in a flawless performance of Verdi's last opera. This disc is a historic live recording of this "miraculous performance. Sony Music
