Arturo ToscaniniAbout
Previous guest conductors included Richard Strauss, Mengelberg and Koussevitzky. Toscanini's son-in-law Vladimir Horowitz had been a soloist with the orchestra and his positive experience had no doubt contributed to the Maestro’s decision to accept the invitation.
After the first, long sold-out concert on June 3, the following day’s critics were unanimous in declaring Toscanini to be pre-eminent in his art.
There were four programs, each given twice (with slight changes), and all recorded ‘on spec’ by HMV. Eventually all works (except a Geminiani concerto, issued here for the first time) were released on LP or CD, but have been unavailable for many years, and are now released in greatly improved sound.
