Disc No: GH 2218 Toscanini was the only U.S. conductor to present Romeo & Juliette complete in the 20th Century up until this broadcast. The sound of the original transmissions is acoustically superior in one or another passage to the RCA BMG off commercial release. This Guild edition also offers the original, unpublished Queen Mab Scherzo from this concert (with two bad horn notes replaced) as well as the broadcast commentary and ovations, so as to recreate this historic event. Also included is the Damnation of Faust (Scene 7) which Toscanini conducted on this occasion. As an extra feature the Guild Set offers a rehearsal which includes the soloists and chorus. Fascinating, impassioned, inspiring, this is a rare opportunity to hear the great Maestro conducting music he deeply loved
Price: Sek. 200 (3CD)
