Toscanini & the NBC Symphony Orchestra

Richard Oliver · 02-21-2007, 11:37 PM

When I was a kid, I can recollect playing the records.

It must have been 1960 or so. The 9 Beethoven Symphonies on RCA.

Wow. I guess that's where I can place all the blame. I got hooked about the time I could walk and fiddle with the record player.

Beautiful sturdy LP's. Goregeous full red logo in the middle. Almost artwork quality image of the dalmatian listening to the Victrola. Tons of notes. A booklet in fact.

Well, I'd like to buy a few CD's with Maestro Toscanini and the NBC Symphony.

Have you any recommendations, observations, reminiscences?

Thanks,

Richard Oliver

The NBC recording of Grofe's "Grand Canyon Suite" is one of the first Toscanini recordings I heard. Feste Roman, The Pines of Rome and The Fountains of Rome show Harry Glantz and the guys at the top of their game.
