Notes & Reviews:

"Mono sound, surprisingly clear and luminous, is what we have on an unmissable two-CD Testament set of live NBC recordings conducted by Toscanini... these are the only performances of these works given by Toscanini with American orchestras during his 28-season sojourn. The exquisitely realized Bizet and Massenet suites show off the pedigree of the hand-picked NBC players." -Gramophone (Editor's Choice)
