In addition to excellent readings of the Third and Fourth Symphonies, together with the Variations on a Theme by Haydn, there was an unusual addition to the Toscanini repertoire in the performance on 27 November of the \u003ci\u003eGesang der Parzen\u003c\/i\u003e, or \"Song of the Fates\". It's unique in the conductor's broadcast and recorded canon: a work composed in the summer of 1882 and first performed in Basel, Switzerland, it's a setting for 6-part chorus and orchestra of Goethe's \u003ci\u003eIphigenie auf Tauris\u003c\/i\u003e. Writing about Toscanini's Brahms performances in \"Arturo Toscanini, The NBC Years\", Mortimer H. Frank was enthusiastic in his praise:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left: 25px;\"\u003e\"The sole NBC performance of \u003ci\u003eGesang der Parzen\u003c\/i\u003e is Toscanini’s only American presentation of the work and possibly the only one he conducted. Written for chorus and orchestra, it remains to this day a relatively unknown score, and Toscanini’s inclusion of it in his 1948 Brahms cycle stands as one of his most imaginative strokes of programming. At the time of the performance, no recording of the work had been made. Toscanini’s reading—in its rock-steady rhythm, colorful orchestral transparency, and sensitivity to the harmonic richness characteristic of Brahms—suggests that the work deserves more frequent performances. As reproduced in the RCA CD transfer, the sound is especially good for its vintage. Here is one of many examples typifying a little-acknowledged side of Toscanini’s repertory: its inclusion of forgotten works worthy of resurrection.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with the previous volumes of this series, I was able to use near-mint source discs for this production, and the sound quality captured on these direct-cut discs is nothing less than superb for recordings made over 75 years ago. There was some light surface noise on the fifth programme discs, though nothing too intrusive, whilst the sixth programme was especially clean and clear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRAHMS \u003c\/b\u003eThe 1948 Toscanini NBC Cycle, Volume Three\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003edisc one\u003c\/b\u003e (59:30)\u003cbr\u003e1.
