...actors. Morgan, 1000 Clowns, and all of Richard Lester's stuff, particularly Help!, have been training our eyes to new conventions, all logical extensions of the conventions implied by any cutting (as opposed to the conventions implied by tracking, the moving camera).

This one has the advantages of modern recording techniques, and Toscanini, 85 when he made the recording, shows undiminished vigor (the finale whips along like 60). The fancy album leaflet includes an appreciation by Essayist André Maurois...
