Customer Reviews of Orchestral Showpieces
Terrific Toscanini While I am just beginning to explore the world of Arturo Toscanini as a classical collector, I do feel qualified to comment on this particular set. Like many children, I grew up with Toscanini's Beethoven Cycle playing in the background while I played with my toys. On a subconscious level, his interpretations have probably influenced the way I have listened to every Beethoven Symphony to date. The works collected here on Volume 8 of "The Immortal Arturo Toscanini" are clearly not as significant as his Beethoven (or for that matter his Brahms) Symphony accounts, but they are nonetheless enjoyable. These recordings of various orchestral showpieces are all exquisitely performed, with the Mussorgsky/Ravel "Pictures" and Brahms "Haydn Variations" the highlights for yours truly. All of the performances featured here were made from 1951-53, and are in mono, but RCA/BMG has done a magnificent job of remastering this entire series. The Beethoven Symphonies would be the obvious place to start if you are looking to discover this great conductor, but a collection like this featuring works from a variety of composers will clearly illustrate what made Toscanini's interpretations so well-loved.
