TOSCANINI: 1954 Mendelssohn Sym 4 "Italian" in Restored Sound

Arturo Toscanini (1867-1957) conducts the NBC Symphony Orchestra in the Symphony No. 4 "Italian" by Felix Mendelssohn. Recorded on February 28, 1954 in New York City.
Digitally transferred directly from a vintage 33-1/3 rpm disc with applied Magix audio restoration software to reduce noise. No added reverb or artificial ambiance was used.

E' un'esecuzione di un virtuosismo tecnico e poetico straordinario, come sovente accade in Toscanini. Aveva 87 anni. Genio assoluto dell'umanità.

Attractive sound restoration; this interpretation simply leaves you amazed, the phrasing, the dynamics, the line.
