Arturo Toscanini, NBC Symphony Orchestra
The Toscanini Collection - Highlights

Compil. US 1990 on RCA Victor Gold Seal label
Classical (Romantic, Classical)

Total Playing Time: 69:46 BMG Classics presents “The Toscanini Collection” on RCA Victor Gold Seal—a landmark of the CD era—on 82 compact discs and 10 Laser Discs (or 9 Video-cassettes), to be released between 1990 and 1994. “The Toscanini Collection—Highlights” demonstrates both the wide-ranging artistry of Arturo Toscanini and the superb digital remastering by RCA, the record label of Toscanini. Tracks 4, 5, and 6: Tape/disc sources: “Toscanini Legacy” collection, Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, The New York Public Library at Lincoln Center Tracks 5 and 7: R&H Archives Track 7: Disc source: NBC Collection, Library of Congress Restoration/Remastering: BMG Studios Tracks 4, 6 and 7: 1991 Release The analog recording source for this compact disc was made before noise-reduction methods such as Dolby were available. In the digital remastering, some effort to minimize the inherent tape hiss was made, radical methods have not been used in order to preserve the full-frequency content of the original recordings. Therefore, some noise may be experienced in the reproduction on wide-range equipment.
