"Toscanini completes the trilogy; and be it said at the start that he gets a remarkably good recording. His performance, and the orchestra's, it goes without saying, are superb." - The Gramophone, 1954
Toscanini was a great advocate for his friend Respighi's Roman Trilogy, and these studio recordings, made with the NBC SO between 1949 and 1953, really shine here in these new Ambient Stereo XR remasters from Pristine.
This week we also celebrate another composer with strong Toscanini links - it's Verdi's 211th birthday, and all week we have a special automatic discount on all his recordings at Pristine.
