 Among the most noteworthy of the releases were Munch's performances of Berlioz's "Symphonie fantastique" and Debussy's "La Mer", and Reiner's remarkable 1954 recording of Richard Strauss's "Also sprach Zarathustra".Victrola also issued Arthur Fiedler's first stereo recording, a 1954 recording of "Gaîté Parisienne", Manuel Rosenthal's ballet based on the music of Jacques Offenbach.In 1967, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini, Victrola began an ambitious project of reissuing most of Toscanini's approved recordings with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, mostly from the 1940s and early 1950s.
