Rare Toscanini 027 - Salzburg 37 & NY 1945

This fragment from Salzburg Festival is one of the rarest Toscanini documents posted until now.  A shortwave broadcast carefully restored by me, with a lot of work. Pant! Pant! Puf! Puf!

Not only, but the Strauss - in my opinion - is a MUST in the entire history of the recorded music.

Then, his last NYPO concert: again, AT at his best.

Good news for lovers of acoustic period sopranos!

Note:
I have received complaints about some posts for copyright problems:
Probably relate to U.S. laws, since I never intended to provide recordings with less than fifty years. Also in Europe, recently, the expiration period of rights will be soon extended, but the measure should not have retroactive value (until 1960, 61 or 62 = free).
In any case the posts were removed.
