Description:
Telecast March 22, 1952 from Carnegie Hall, New York Cityfor the second movement go here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijiHzheK4GQfrom an interview by Robert Stumpf II with Bob Bloom, who played with Toscanini:I played for him for six years. He yelled at me a lot, but as a father. After awhile I became, from those in the orchestra, possibly closer than anyone else to Toscanini. Away from the podium, he was like a little child. He loved music. In his study, he would show me Puccini's snuff box, Verdi's eye glasses. He treasured these things.One day I was visiting him and he asked me to stay for lunch. I could tell he was very tired, and we had finished our business, so I told him that I didn't have to stay. I said, "Maestro, you look tired. Why don't you take a nap?"He said, "I've been up since five o'clock this morning studying this symphony." The symphony that week was Beethoven's Fifth.I said, "Maestro, how many times have you conducted that?"He answered, "Oh, hundreds."I said, "And you're still studying it?"I loved his answer. He said, "Well, I'm always afraid I may have missed something." This is how he really felt about music.

May 8, 2012 - On the contrary while second-rate conductors like Wilhelm Furtwaengler and Karajan were cashing in on their Nazism Toscanini opposed fascism to the point of leaving his homeland Italy when Mussolini took over and even risked death by refusing to conduct the then current fascist national anthem.

May 8, 2012 - I have only a problem with the flautist and oboist. They are weak.
NoahSV Says:
May 8, 2012 - in fact he had photographic memory and always performed pieces from memory.

May 12, 2012 - At under 7 minutes this is one of the fastest runs of the movement I've ever heard, but it's still quite amazing.

May 15, 2012 - Isn't the exposition supposed to be repeated before the development? Maybe that's why this is so quick.

May 16, 2012 - Toscanini might as well be conducting right now. His no-fuss tempi and clarity of sound are practically period-instrument. The only real difference is that he doesn't do repeats. He is best described as Romantically Classical, just like Beethoven himself - a fiery disposition constrained by classical principles of balance and proportion.
