## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thrilling!
*by K***R on January 26, 2009*

Yes, the performance took place in Studio H, notorious for its evil acoustics to all the critics of the time.Yes, it is primitive pioneer TV of the 1940's, though no doubt upgraded as best the technicians could manage.Yes, it is a concert not an opera performance.Yes, there are no subtitles; puzzling that the company would not spring for the cost of them given the historic nature of the video.Despite these, and other deficiencies which could be listed, this is a performance one must attend.Toscanini draws from an outstanding group of orchestral players music to touch one to the core.Robert Shaw's chorus, under the maestro's baton, sounds heavenly.Richard Tucker, with decades ahead as a vital element in the best of what the Metropolitan Opera had to offer, shows what a trained and highly disciplined tenor can make of a showpiece role.The other performers all hit the mark, though sometimes, I would guess, the victims of Studio H and technicians still learning the TV craft.Yes, and at the center, one has an opportunity to see a top of the line conductor of Italian Opera, create in film, one of his historic performances.Verdi may well have sounded as good many times, but he never sounded better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute Proof of Toscanini's Greatness
*by K***R on March 6, 2022*

This show was made when Toscanini was 87--it is, I think, his last public performance. It demonstrates why he was considered great. The singers were barely mediocre, with the exception of Richard Tucker, who was in great voice and at the start of a great career. The poor guy does look absolutely stricken though (maybe he was intimidated by the Maestro). In spite of it all, this is a vibrant, cohesive and compelling perfromance because of the way Toscanini shapes and molds everything. He lets the music speak for itself: it is wonderful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its like a time machine!
*by D***H on September 10, 2013*

To hear is not the same as seeing and hearing! To watch Maestro Toscanini conduct this opera is a revelation. This man is a direct link to Verdi, Puccini and other great opera composers. He did the premier performances of many major operas. His tempos, phrasing, etc. must be considered definitive. I was mesmerized from start to finish. One will forget the soft black and white, and sometimes blurred images, the lack of subtitles, and the relatively limited sound frequency range, as the focus will be on what Toscanini is doing on the podium. Richard Tucker -- what can I say about Mr. Tucker? His performance was wonderful, clear, nuanced. There is a lot of Tucker available on CD but very little on DVD, this is one of the few. Despite many shortcomings this DVD is a must watch for anyone interested in opera.
