Rare Toscanini 018: Bach & R. Strauss - BBCSO (1938)

Bach & Strauss recordings kindly provided by Wagnerite:

A big surprise, and an unexpected extra-volume of the BBC - Toscanini survey.
Thank you again, dear Wagnerite, for the marvellous gift.

I've joined the separated files and - with a spectral cleaner - I've eliminated manually 200 (circa) clicks, pops & big "tocs" (I don't like the "automatic" declicking & decrackling). Then a very little filtering and a final conversion in flac.

note:
bizarre interferences (????) in Brandenburg Concerto fragment
some little gaps in Don Quixote - and something strange happens from 8:47, but I left the source as it was.
