April 1936
Toscanini NY Phil
Carnegie Hall Live

CBS or the NY Phil did not record the NY Phil concerts, at this time. This was recorded off of an am radio in an apartment of a private user with amateur recording equipment onto acetate discs. Eschewing the way of the major and minor recording companies which is an attempt to modernize the recording to today's standards, I went the other way. I denoised and equalized with Music as the goal, not audio. No fake stereo or reverb was added and the Musical Nuances that make a Toscanini performance what it was, was paramount. I think it sounds pretty good despite starting with such a poor source. The true ambience of Carnegie Hall is quite clear as is the "oneness" of Toscanini and the NY Phil
