In Memory of Arturo Toscanini

Concert given by the Symphony Of The Air, Carnegie Hall 3/2/1957

Beethoven:	Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55 'Eroica' Bruno Walter

Debussy:	La Mer Charles Munch
Elgar:	Enigma Variations, Op. 36 Pierre Monteux
Tchaikovsky:	The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a

The Symphony of the Air

The Toscanini Memorial Concert preserved in this album was an altogether remarkable event: three great conductors came forth to pay homage to their friend and colleague, each leading a work that Toscanini had interpreted wonderfully. Only the Eroica was previously released from this memorable concert in any format and the bonus selections were only issued on a Roulette mono LP (which also included Dvorak's New World Symphony) as a fund-raising record for the Symphony of the Air; this is the first release of these performances in stereo.
