It was indeed an ignorant comment of the Maestro, who truly was a great interpretive genius. Some believe he was the greatest conductor of all time. Any one who speaks negatively about Toscanini is only a fool. And, as the saying goes "the fool says in his heart there is no God." Toscanini was sent to us by God, and we should be ever thankful and fortunate that we had the priviledge of hearing his performances. How wonderful that these performances were preserved through the marvels of science.
@hernia56 the difference is that today's orchestra only seek for "preciseness" like you do and prior orchestras seeked for "emotion" and "feeling" to let the music live
Ignorant? I've conducted the piece as well. And if you sir HAD a sense of rhythm, you would agree with my comment rather than make a personal attack, in my opinion probably motivated by idolatry. This performance is out of rhythm, and at times out of pulse and in several places, out of phase. I stand behind my comments. Go find someone else to attack.
@hernia56 What an ignorant comment to make about a musical genius like Toscanini. Perhaps the recording quality is making you hear things. I know this work and have conducted and I don't hear what you are hearing. But what do I know.
I LOVE THIS !!! That is engagement !!!! THAT IS GREAT !!!!! Not like a shitty Yo Yo Ma ......

Half witted @hernia56 could give Toscanini lessons in meter and rhythm.
He could also give Rembrandt lessons in handling light and shade,
and Isaac Newton lessons in math and physics.
