Toscanini/NBC SO: Beethoven Syms No. 9 "Choral" & 1 - FALP 190/191 (2LP box set)
$25.00 USD
Box VG / LPs / Excellent (LPs pressed in The Netherlands / box printed in France)
This handsome 2LP box set from La Vox de son Maître (FALP 190/191, LPs pressed in The Netherlands, box/booklet printed in France, red/silver semi-circle label) features Arturo Toscanini’s famous account of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor Op. 125 – recorded 31 March and 1 April 1952 at New York’s Carnegie Hall – with the NBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and soloists Eileen Farrell soprano, Jan Peerce tenor, Nan Merriman mezzo, and Norman Scott baritone. Few recordings have been so eagerly anticipated as was Toscanini’s RCA Ninth, and it retains an elemental power and unity of vision that still outshines many rivals. It is a wonderful tonic to the over expansive and lugubrious versions set down in its wake, and whatever one thinks of Toscanini, his recorded legacy repays close study, and this Ninth an apex in his discography.
