thrilling...

i think there is no chance to conduct it any better... i've never heard this power, this greatness, this perfectness in music before. it's just unbelievable... this is music... the singers didn't have to act like stupid monkeys (like today), there is no ugly and hysterical vibrato. they just did music in perfection. great

My fuck**g god, his open palm stopped the applause. You can see a lady looks behind her to see who it was.

No music! No prompter for the singers! After all, if Toscanini could memorize the whole opera he saw no point in a prompter; if Toscanini could learn the whole opera then the singers could also learn their "little parts."

This is about the best video I've ever seen. And this time instead of hearing Toscanini sing along we can see him do it.

Bravo.

At the conclusion you can see the seated Ms. Randall wiping her tears of joy over this powerful and moving music; I feel the same way.
Hard to believe that this was live, coast-to-coast (though TV couldn't reach that far but simulcast radio did) over a commercial broadcasting network.
Now this same studio is used for "Saturday Night Live."
