Anyone who doubts Toscanini's genius should listen to his You Tube version of a 1944 version of the overture to Verdi's "La Forza del Destino". Yes, it's fast --- faster than any I've ever heard, but its the most electrifying thing I've ever heard. The strings are like whirling dervishes and the horns peal forth like thunder. What a shame he never recorded the whole opera with Zinka Milanov, Richard Tucker, and Leonard Warren. They would have sung like gods for him and we'd all be richer.

@SteveAndrewLangford Toscanini says: "Corpo d'un D... santissimo", "Madonna s..." A very heavy blasphemy toward God and holy Mary. It's very heavy even for a street person. It should be better not to transcript nor translate, actually.

ことし2012年3月にアマゾンからトスカニーニCD全集が廉価
で発売予定ですが、僕は昔LP全集を確か30万円弱で購入しまし た。トスカニーニはすべて暗譜指揮したことで有名ですし、言うま でもなく不滅の大指揮者です。関連のDVDもある筈です。. -
@SteveAndrewLangford Actually he swears against God and the Madonna.

@ass1joe Actually, what little I could glean was, "What are you playing, waltz? Dat-DAH, dat-DAH? AnDANte!"
And later, "How could...believe, that you could be so stupid? You can't read NOTES!". BASTA (enough), I tell you! BASTA, BASTA, BASTA! I tell you.
