Among Toscanini's final performances, this two-week operatic
extravaganza has gone down as one of the finest recorded performances of
Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera ever made.
As a young cellist, Toscanini had worked with Verdi first in 1887 - some
67 years later he turned to the music of his countryman for his final
operatic concerts, presented over two radio programmes broadcast live
from Carnegie Hall a week apart to a rapturous reception. A release not to be missed!
Toscanini's final opera performance took place over two concerts at Carnegie Hall, both broadcast live on radio in specially-extendedprogrammes. The original cast included the tenor Jussi Bj?rling, replaced at short notice by Jan Peerce.
