Greater subtlety and musicality are only occasionally clouded by inferior sound quality and the companion performance of Mozart's K595 is equally arresting. Readers who, like me, harbour minor reservations concerning a 1944 collaboration between Toscanini and Rudolf Serkin in Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto can now compare it with a performance that Serkin, Toscanini and the New York Philharmonic gave in 1936 as part of Serkin's New York concert début. Both works, plus a Magic Flute Overture, were played early in November 1947. Toscanini's broadcast and recording differ from each other in tiny detail, enough to warrant closer comparison, but the real find on this recent Guild 'twofer' - at least for those who missed various past incarnations - is a rehearsal and performance of the Haffner Symphony, Toscanini's Mozart at its most persuasive. The idea might seem arrogant, but the evidence, both on commercial record (RCA) and on a Guild CD of a broadcast from the same period, is positively Beechamesque in its elegance and piquant phrasing. When Arturo Toscanini heard Serge Koussevitzky conduct Mozart's B flat Divertimento for horn and strings, K287 he was so appalled that he decided to programme the work himself - 'for Koussevitzky's benefit', apparently.
