Ludwig van Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies - Arturo Toscanini / NBC Symphony Orchestra
Ludwig van Beethoven (Composer), Arturo Toscanini (Conductor), ...

RCA, 2003

My favorite Beethoven cycle
Stated simply, this is the grandest cycle of Beethoven symphonies available.Don't let other reviewers make you think that the sound is terrible.It is not.I am very picky about what I listen to,and the minor imperfections in this set cannot come close to comparing with ...
  
  











  



  
Horowitz in Moscow
Vladimir Horowitz, Charles Kuralt

Sony, 2005

Peerless recital. the return of the lavish son!
Horowitz in Moscow is by far, one of the most renowned musical documents of the past century. It constitutes the return of this artist to his birthplace after 61 years. The drama and the excitement aroused by the legendary master is visibly captured by the camera ...
  
  











  



  
Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra: The Television Concerts, Vol. 5 - 1948-52
Eva Fustavson, NBC Symphony Orchestra

Testament UK, 2006

Fitting end to a glorious series of televised live concerts... Very commendable DVD restoration
This is the fifth and final volume in the series of Toscanini/NBC Symphony Orchestra live concerts. The two concerts here date from 15 & 22 March 1952 and were the last two Toscanini/NBCSO concerts to be telecast live across the nation. They were held at Carnegie Hall, ...
  
  











  



  
Wagner: Götterdämmerung/Siegfried [Excerpts]
Richard Wagner, Arturo Toscanini, ...

RCA, 1992

Great recordings, well restored
I am very familiar with these recordings, from their earlier LP and CD issues. This issue is the best sounding of all. The interpretations are without parallel in their sheer dynamism and unanimity and the voices of Traubel and Melchior are heard at their best. I am ...
  
  











  



  
The Television Concerts, 1948-52, Vol. 1

Testament UK, 2006

As good as it gets! Wonderful!
These DVDs are essentially the same as the VHS release in every way. The titles, Martin Bookspan commentary, end credits, booklet notes are all present (and no, the televised David Sarnoff introduction is not there). I am not a fan of the cover art, or of the menus. ...
  
  











  



  
Arturo Toscanini, Vol 12 - Verdi: Falstaff
Frank Guarrera, Giuseppe Valdengo, ...

RCA, 2000

Toscanini triumphs
I inserted the first CD into my player and found myself transformed into the world Verdi's greatest masterpiece of lyrics and music. Certainly the glory must go to Toscanini for making this complex work such a joy to listen to. He produces some of the most beautiful ...
  
  











  



  
Tchaikovsky: Concerto No. 1; Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
Modest Mussorgsky, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

RCA, 1992

Horowitz plays Tchaikovsky & Mussorgsky
Here is the "essential" playing of Vladimir Horowitz at his peak in live recordings from concerts in 1943 and 1951. First, there is the historic war bond concert in 1943, when Toscanini conducted the NBC Symphony Orchestra in an all-Tchaikovsky program that included ...
  
  











  



  
Toscanini Conducts Beethoven's 3rd & 5th Symphonies
Ludwig van Beethoven, Arturo Toscanini, ...

Music & Arts Program, 2007

Two legendary concert performances!
The Fifth Symphony was recorded on April 9 1933. The date is extremely important. His febrile temperament looks like the delicate and unstable state of the things in the world. The Italian Master travels constant and eagerly. And despite the genius blossoms, ...
  
  











  



  
Brahms: The Four Symphonies (NBC Symphony Orchestra Vol. IV)
Johannes Brahms, Arturo Toscanini, ...

RCA, 1999

A must have - recordings of a great conductor with his own orchestra from 1951 & 1952
Being perfectly frank, I have a real problem with the four symphonies of Johannes Brahms. I cannot choose between them. Whichever one I am hearing is my favorite at that moment. At one point it is the brass chorale, or a particularly beautiful cello passage, or the ...
  
  











  



  
Tchaikovsky: Concerto No.1/Beethoven: Concerto No. 5 "Emperor"
Ludwig van Beethoven, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

RCA, 1990

Unique and incomparable
This is a unique vision and outstanding version of the famous concerto. First of all it is a concert version made under exceptional circumstances - a war bond concert that raised vast sums of largesse towards the US second world war effort. In addition, the maestro ...
  
  











  



  
Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra: The Television Concerts, Vol. 3 : Aida - 1948-52
Arturo Toscanini, Herva Nelli

Testament UK, 2006

memorable
Let it be warned that, although this DVD presents a complete performance of AIDA spanning 150 minutes, it is not an opera production. The soloists sit on chairs in front of the orchestra, facing Toscanini and the audience. When the time comes for them to sing, they ...

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition/By the Water/Tchaikovsky: Concerto No. 1
Vladimir Horowitz, Modest Mussorgsky, ...

RCA, 1990

The classic in classical music
I won't deny that this is an old recording. That's bound to be obvious. And yes, as a result of this age, the sound quality is not, perhaps, anything near as good as something that might be recorded today. On the other hand, you can't find a classic recording like this ...
