Interesting, underrated Toscanini performances.......2003-07-18
Toscanini's Schumann 2nd is not nearly as well-known as his interpretation of the 3rd Symphony, but it is equally good. Also of interest is the excellent Liszt tone poem Orpheus, which Toscanini conducts with elegance and touching humanity. His version of the famed Hungarian Rhapsody #2 has a lift and drive usually not heard in this piece. The one disappointment on the album is the tone poem "From the Cradle to the Grave." Though described as being like Strauss' "Tod und Verklarung," I personally did not like the music at all....rambling and disconnected in feeling. The sound is surprisingly good for vintage broadcasts.
