This set presents the NBC Symphony broadcast of February 14, 1953, together with a rehearsal, from two days earlier, of one of the selections to be broadcast. The concert is an important one for those of us who love Toscanini because it marks the last time her performed what were probably his three favorite Debussy pieces. Not only are these Toscanini's last performances of these three great works; they are also his best-sounding ones. For the NBC Symphony broadcasts had been moved, in January 1951, from the rather dead and dry Studio 8H in the RCA Building at New York's Rockefeller Center to the sonic warmth of Carnegie Hall.written by William H. Youngren

I have also included a raw LP transfer of this same broadcast that a friend of mine made. I think it may sound a bit clearer than the Guild Broadcast which is not sourced from the same Fonit Cetra LP and, obviously, not transferred by the same person nor with the same equipment. Peter Reynolds is responsible for the final mastering on the 2 CD set.
