I just feel however that there were a number of conductors who championed the Toscanini approach to these works (not slavishly of course), but who received far, far better engineering than Toscanini did. Of course, that doesn't mean we shouldn't ever listen to Toscanini - but I'd be reluctant to recommend the Toscanini recordings to a newbie in this repertoire.

and certainly not for audiophiles. But perhaps should be listened to within a context relative to how they are played today by today's artist. Perhaps then, deeper appreciation for the musicians or the composers can emerge?
I am bringing a millennial friend to a Beethoven Symphony 7 concert (Vanska/Minesota) next year. She does not own CDs or vinyl. Her main intake for music is Apple Music. She knows the name Beethoven. She does not know the tunes. Never heard the 7th. I am going to recommend several current recording as well as add Toscanini in the mix to see how she hears it. :)
