Don't actually know this set. How does he interpret the music? I might check it out but if it's anything like Karajan..
Not at all! Toscanini is considered the greatest of all conductors. On Amazon, you can get the 9 symphonies by him, and it costs less than 18 dollars. The sound quality is old, but the conducting is top-notch! You should seriously check it out.

Karajan himself said Beethoven had to be conducted politely. Toscanini didn't think so.
