Perhaps the greatest string sections ever assembled in one orchestra. Just listen to those cellos at the outset! Listen to the technique of the violins @ 9:01-:21--extraordinary!
And how much better they all sounded in Carnegie Hall rather than the rotten Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center.
I'm glad you have good memories of Studio 8H recordings, but it was SPECIFICALLY constructed to keep the human voice from reverberating on radio broadcasts. (clarity was paramount) This made it a rather sterile, unflattering hall for musical reproduction.
Almost every musician is now gone from those halcyon days, but my father was in the NBC and the general opinion of the musicians was that 8H was a very dry studio for musical reproduction.
@LiLaShows It was made to accomodate Maestro Arturo Toscanini specifications or wishes. Microphone placement was critical. The 1950 Debussy La Mer is a wonderful example. The Verdi AIDA of 1949 IS completely pleasing and awesome. One of the most famous was the TV broadcast of the Dvorak Symphonic Variations. It is a beauty!! Toscanini liked clear acoustics of the Studio 8H
@sidecarural Mi fa piacere che ti sia piaciuto il video. Tra non molto, spero di poter inserire qualche altro video di questo celebre direttore d'orchestra.
This must be Arthur Lora playing the flute! Really wonderful!

Umilmente da profano dico che è maestosa questa esecuzione.

@derbomber72 Se come scrivi, non conosci la musica classica ma ti piacciono i brani maestosi, potrei indicarti qualche titolo da cercare su you-tube.
Se sei interessato, fammi sapere.
