ARTURO TOSCANINI
This selection includes some or the rarest Toscanini documents posted until now.
The recording quality of the Missa Solemnis is certainly poor, but (particularly in the Credo and in the Sanctus) this performance contains wonderful moments.

I was stunned by the cast. GREAT TREASURE!
I have been introduced to Beethoven's Missa Solemnis by ur posts...
And what a sense of feeling to start with the Maestro's version of Beethoven. The number of different recordings by Toscanini each gracefully shows the beautifulness in a different insight. Thank you very much.
Au ! Thank you !
Salome's Dance is amazing!!!
What a pity there are no other recordings of Strauss' operas by Toscanini.
Majestic, powerful, and in the Sanctus and Preludium, profoundly spiritual. Despite the terrible sound it is the best of the 20 or so versions of the Missa that I have...
Thank you!
@carloggc
thank you for the comment. I don't know if the best, but certainly a great, great version. Yes, the sound is poor... what a pity.
I hope in the discovery of a better source, before or after.
Thank you so much for this and your previous "Rare Toscanini" postings. They are so important to expand our knowledge of his artistry beyond the well-known (and generally interpretively inferior) commercial recordings. They certainly help me to expand the postings on my website with more historical depth. Any chance you'll continue past the first 20 volumes?
