This recording of Brahms Symphony No. 1 is considered to be one of Toscanini’s very greatest recordings, and one which tends to run counter to a number of generalized negative beliefs about his later recordings. This new high-resolution transfer and restoration shows us a superb dramatic presentation of this complex symphony, thoroughly idiomatic and played with both flexibility and radiant, well-balanced orchestral sound. It is an exciting and altogether satisfying recorded version of this symphony that stands alongside other great recordings of this piece as one of the very best, at least as it can be heard in the present release. We hope that this new release opens a new window onto the quality of Toscanini’s recorded legacy in his final years.
