Toscanini conducts la Scala on Donizetti "Don Pasquale" overture.
Arturo Toscanini made US tour late 1920 till March next year with newly assembled la Scala Orchestra for financing Scala theater, and decided reluctantly tor record several sides acoustically (no other chance then) for Victor. Some of the recordings are astonishingly successful for that period with clear woodwinds and ambient sound level. I will be posting sound clip of the entire discs Toscanini made during this tour, acoustically reproduced on Victrola Credenza, as electrically there is an excellent transfer from BMG Victor.
Thank you very much! There are now 3 completly different versions on Youtube by Toscanini, and all of them beautiful!
