Plot
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
