I remember this from the fight scene in the Beatles' movie "Help!"--it is superb action music, as well as being a great piece overall, well-conducted by Toscanini. :D

I bet the brass musicians are playing on smaller instruments than they do today. Well, I am pretty sure the trombones are anyway. It sounds so good, I wonder why people insist on bigger horns.

Interesting Orchestra configuration. First and second violins opposite each other... celli on his left...

Sounds just as good as the same preformance at the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9, 2009, celebrating 20 years after it came down.

Sounds pretty good for a 60 year old television recording. Can't imagine NBC airing something like this now; they'd rather show fat people being yelled at on a treadmill, lol. By the way 8-H is where they do Saturday Night Live now.
