It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I'm not a Toscanini fanboy, but two of his performances are special favorites,

His studio La Mer, (still want to hear his Carnegie Hall recording), and his Saint Saens organ symphony, though the organ used--if it was indeed an organ--is horrible; almost comical.

What does it for me in the Saint Saens is Toscanini's way with the orchestral score: sizzling Scherzo mov't (or first part of the 2nd); and most perfect balancing of excitement and grandiosity in the Finale. Takes it all in one breath and never loses the line.

Never thought a mono recording would give me goose bumbs, but these two do.

Forgive me if you've read this before.
