Rare Toscanini 027 - Salzburg 1937 & NY 1945

The fragments from Salzburg Festival are among 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 really a MUST in the entire history of the recorded music.

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