Synopsis

Album Description

Harris Goldsmith writes in his note: "This 1948 version is almost completely without mishap. Indeed, there is ample reason to consider it the finest of the Maestro's achievements with this monumental Masterpiece [the Requiem]. The pacing resembles that of the November 23rd, 1940 performance in its nobility and unhurried breadth.

Two titans: verdi and toscanini

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is not the best Toscanini Verdi Requiem (you cant hear him shouting Forte Forte)but it is still better than anything by anyone else. Toscanini was the best."
