Wow! The rock-symphony of Beethoven in the best interpretation!

[piesseesse]

In the hands of Toscanini this symphony is really a rock-symphony, as it must be. Unique!

Formidably stupendous! Somehow this excellent 1936 recording captures "Young" Toscanini. Although even in advanced old age he was typically amazing and rigorous.

[SatchmoSings]

What is amazing how Toscanini kept the tempo gradually accelerating ALL THROUGH A DISC CHANGE!!!!

The level of concentration required for something like that must've been phenomenal.

Zerkratzt, geschunden, 10000 mal gehört. Auf die nächste 10000 !!!!

Wunderbar

So awesome. I still consider this the best 7th although I now place Carlos Kleiber a close second with Otto Klemperer a close third.

Have you heard Sir Thomas Beecham's stereo recording of this movement? That's music making! I've always thought this Toscanini recording was brutal and overrated. Felix Weingartner, Guido Cantelli and Carlos Kleiber are also marvelous in this music.

[cirosuperiore]

i yes the way it used to be. nicks, cuts, scratches and all. do I missed them???

i'm not sure...i gave you a good reason to actually go to the live concerts.

oh well. the good old days , you can't beat them...

Worst recording of the 7th ever, except for Klemperer. Beethoven was definitely not Toscanini's cup of tea, he slaughtered all 9 symphonies.

[HickysBoy]

Best recording ever of the 7th! Klemperer an honest second place - everyone else back-in-the-pack.

[Nuker1337]

@HickysBoy I like Kleiber better.

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely and pure genious: starts slow, and gets faster. It obviously what Beethoven wanted!! Never thought of that while hearing Karajan.

[FMMAROTO]

It sounds very different than any other version. This is a wonder!

[runupahill1]

@FMMAROTO Very perceptive comment. Toscanini is revelatory. In the same way that Furtwangler reveals in Wagner what that man and composer was trying to say and communicate, so Toscanini adequately, and with non-egotistic control, convincingly communicates what Beethoven was saying in what he had notated in written symbols. I am left saying:"How obvious it is."

[Guzmansharp]

brrrravisiimo!

[LordMgls]

BRAVO!! TOSCANINI FOR EVER!!

[sarrasqueta]

No, really. It's amazing.

Thank you very very much for posting this wonder.
