"The Internationale" conducted by Arturo Toscanini--BANNED by U.S. censors!
In 1944, to honor the Allied victory in Italy, legendary counductor Arturo Toscanini--a refugee from Fascisim in his home country--decided to conduct a performance of Verdi's "Hymn of the Nations". "Hymn" is a composition that Verdi orginally built around the national anthems of Britain, France, and Italy. In order to honor all four of the major Allies, Toscanini decided to add "The Star Spangled Banner" for the U.S. and "The Internationale" for the Soviet Union. The music was performed by the NBC Symphony Orchestra, with the Westminister Choir and the great tenor Jan Peerce as soloist; conducted by Toscanini. It was filmed as a featurette to be shown in movie theaters, and was narrated by Burgess Meredith.
In the early 50's, at the height of the Red Scare and McCarthyism, U.S. censo...

Arturo Toscanini (March 25, 1867 – January 16, 1957) was an Italian conductor. He was one of the most acclaimed musicians of the late 19th and of the 20th century, renowned for his intensity, his perfectionism, his ear for orchestral detail and sonority, and his eidetic memory. He was at various times the music director of La Scala in Milan and the New York Philharmonic. Later in his career he was appointed the first music director of the NBC Symphony Orchestra (1937–54), and this led to his becoming a household name (especially in the United States) through his radio and television broadcasts and many recordings of the operatic and symphonic repertoire.

Verdi's HYMN OF THE NATIONS - Toscanini Film RESTORED
This is a restored presentation of the centerpiece of the OWI's 1943 featurette MUSIC OF GIUSEPPE VERDI, "The Hymn of the Nations". The bulk of this version is from the 35mm LOC print. The "Internationale" footage is from 16mm. I've included the 16mm footage of the orchestra on their feet at the beginning of "The Star Spangled Banner". For some reason, this footage was replaced in two stages after the initial release. First the moment the orchestra rises was replaced by a low angle shot of Toscanini. Later the rest of the standing orchestra footage was replaced by additional low angle footage of the conductor. At some point I may transfer the print with the rising orchestra footage and insert it herein.
The 35mm / 16mm soundtrack has been replaced by the master recording. The film shot to...

In the early 50's, at the height of the Red Scare and McCarthyism, U.S. censors excised the portion of this performance that featured the "Internationale".
For years the sequence containing The Internationale was considered forever lost. But recently a copy of this missing piece of film was rediscovered in Alaska. So now this rousing rendition of the Internationale--together with chorale and orchestra under the direction of a great conductor--can be enjoyed again.

Giuseppe Verdi's La Forza del Destino — The Force of Destiny — is an opera that can leave even diehard Verdi lovers shaking their heads. Its story can be as confounding as the music is compelling, with a plot in which a single, unfortunate happenstance drives characters to lifetimes of incomprehensible behavior. There's one character who travels the world, braving war and desolation, in an obsessive quest to murder his own sister.
