Reviews

Sung in English, it has had previous CD releases from Naxos and Memories, but neither comes close to the sonic splendor of this transfer...Guild’s certainly gives an idea of why many consider the performance one of Toscanini’s greatest achievements.

December 2004

I urge you to hear it: a most original view of the work (the second movement in particular is immensely impressive), albeit one with the drawback of some warbly choral singing and sound that is far from ideal. It’s typical of Toscanini: gripping, intense and a shade dogged.

2nd September 2004

this is now the best sounding transfer on the market and will be of especial interest to admirers of the conductor’s...The NBC strings shine in And ye now therefore have sorrow as does the principal clarinet...the presentation is fine; sound, as I said, a real improvement.
