This magnificent performance with the BBC Symphony Orchestra was a commercial recording Toscanini for HMV (His Master's Voice) in London's Queen's Hall. HMV used two recording machines, so they could record a continuous performance, without having to stop to change the masters for the 78-rpm recordings. They were released in the U.S. by RCA Victor. The recordings Toscanini made with the BBC orchestra generally have better sound than his early NBC Symphony recordings.
