Even with a high hiss background noise, it holds tension much better than Karajan/BPO. A tad opaque and old-fashioned but faster paced salt of the Earth. But the fidelity is very challenging even for me. I reckon later NBC @ Carnegie set would be much better and I am guessing it would be move vivid and livelier than this Philly set. ( this is relatively legato for Toscanini and does not have his usual whiplash style )
