  • Plays very well indeed? This is matchless perfection...these notes will not and cannot be played this way again...Toscanini belongs to the ages.

  • Toscanini actually, and in person---face-to-face---on more than a few occasions, spoke to and listened intently to Verdi's directions and wishes. Toscanini was not trained to be a conductor, he was trained as a cellist, but instinctively was able to communicate his interpretation of Verdi's music to an orchestra without using the traditional conducting techniques. Whether he conducts in 4 or not, his way which ostensibly is the right way, produced the fabulous sound that you appreciate.

  • Brilliant. Pure preparation of the orcjestra.....and self preperation of the conductor. Toscanini will live forever

  • 2:53 ...that's supreme control of your performers. This man gave us the closest approximation to what the composer heard in his head when the music was first created. Conducting at its best should make any composition sound like it is been created as we hear it and Toscanini did just that. "Per Toscanini bisogna sempre togliersi il capello, sia come uomo che come musicista".

  • @SteveAndrewLangford - "what's the diff?" is right, and AT could use BOTH hands, in differing ways. There was a "horizontal swirl" in certain passages, and a right/left hand, with baton, vertical movement, for increased emphasis ... depending-on the interpretation of the score. I still don't agree with his accelerations in certain transitions and/or tempos, but there's NO doubt that his NBC men could follow his "orders", with extraordinary response and technique. Unforgettable ...

  • @OldMrGrace I have seen that it was actually 18", but you know, 18"/20", what's the diff?
