Good luck.

 

That's not Immortal Performances, it's some other public domain label.

 

Have you tried Immortal Performance web site?

 

I did email them and they said they will be putting it back in print. I figured I would ask here to see if someone wanted to sell theirs.

 

There is a 20% summer sale in Pristine Classical for all Toscanini recordings. The code is on their Facebook page. Sadly they don't have Toscanini's 1939 cycle (they have other performances).
And also, they offer a full Beethoven cycle by Wilhelm Furtängler with the 20% sale. If you buy CDs in plastic sleeves you pay €57 minus the discount. Or €51 minus discount if you just order the Ambient Stereo FLAC files.

I already paid and download the Beethoven No.9 from 1942 in Ambient Stereo. €7.20.

Ridiculously overpriced.

 

Hmm. Sorry. I'm new to this section after a year in TC. I didn't know and I though it was some kind of misposted thread that actually belonged in Recorded Music and Publications.
But fine. I'm sorry for meddling in this thread.

 

No apology needed. I will say that in my opinion Pristine has some of the worst sounding classical reissues I have ever heard. From their very heavy handed noise reduction to trying to make historical recordings sound modern- again noise reduction, creating fake stereo from mono, excess digital reverb, etc.

 

Iwas interested in the Immortal Performance Toscanini cycle that you referenced in the OP. On theier web site they somewhere around $20/disc and I opted against it, but that seems to be the going rate.

 

My grandmother gave me her 10 disc Toscanini Beethoven Symphony set when I was quite young and it was my introduction to those symphonies. I remember telling her that I liked the symphonies but 'not that one with the singing'. She told me that 'one day you will'.

I still have the set though the box is in sorry shape. It's hard to listen to now due to the constricted sound and ticks and pops. Personally I think Toscanini was somewhat overrated. The tempo of the symphonies is too fast. Maybe some of it has to do with how many different versions of the symphonies I've heard since then.
