Bob,
Here's a Toscanini rehersal. Notice the difference!
-
Toscanini was on a divine mission. To make everyone hear how God wanted the music to be heard.
CANTA . . . the most beautiful word in all of music!
Through his rehearsals he truly inspired the musicians in the orchestra and got the very most he could from them.
Toscanini will live forever.

Conductors don't act that way any more: Von Karajan and Bruno walter both got tremendous results WITHOUT the "ranting" and "raving".
-
Instructive indeed; besides, it's somehow otherworldly the way the (English-speaking) orchestra make their way through that all-Italian "colourful" verbal hurricane, turning it into musical insight...
-
My goodness, that's appalling.
-
Haaaaaaaaaa!

@al1936ful Actually, I was pleased to see someone had posted his version of "Roman Festivals" from 1949. Also, according to Herbert Von Karajan from the book, "Maestro", while rehearsing in Germany, he would, almost daily, shout at the orchestra, break his baton and storm out. One day, he did this, and he heard giggling and congratulations. A musician won a pool as to when he would storm out. Toscanini realized what was going on and paid the man from his own pocket.
CANTAAA CANTA PORCO DIOOOOOO

Why does everyone have to post only his ravings? He didn't just go crazy during rehearsals.
