I wonder if it is the same performance I have on a set of 78's with
Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra. It is still the version I use as
a standard to compare others by. I also have a set of Stokowski and the
All-American Youth Orchestra doing Dvorak's New World Symphony. They sound
like pros to me!

I picked up a lot of Toscanini LP's when I was in college and they were
available for $1.99 each on the RCA Victrola label. Nobody plays a Rossini
overture like Toscanini! I understand his Beethoven symphonies are good,
too, especially the 7th, but I haven't heard them...yet. I hear no lack of
fire and emotion in his performances at all!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
