[…] emphasis on Mendelssohn, retrieved from Nazi oblivion, but no hint yet of Mahler. The audio quality is exemplary and the house style feels secure. Elsa Schiller knew her market. Two conductors presided in pre-Karajan Berlin, Wilhelm Furtwängler at the Philharmonic and the Hungarian Ferenc Fricsay at the American-funded radio orchestra. For gossamer string playing, Fricsay’s orchestra often outshines the Berlin Philharmonic. A pair of cello concertos, Haydn and Schumann, with the Italian soloist Enrico Mainardi, conducted by Fritz Lehmann, will serve to prove my point. Lehmann has faded from musical memory and Mainardi would nowadays be considered underpowered, placing serene beauty above muscularity. Music lovers were spoilt for choice of cello styles before stereo imposed a louder homogeneity. Some of these mono retrievals, unheard for yonks, are quite indispensable.

Death of a celebrated cello teacher, aged 95
The pianist Alberto Portugheis has informed us of the death of his longterm recital partner: ‘It is with great sadness that I relay the news of the the death of my old and dear friend and colleague, the distinguished Welsh cellist Gwyneth George, occurred this morning at 9 am at London’s Charing Cross Hospital.

[…] famiglia Vladimir Horowitz. Toscanini ebbe varie relazioni extraconiugali: con il soprano Rosina Storchio, dalla quale nel 1903 ebbe un figlio nato cerebroleso e morto sedicenne; con il soprano Geraldine Farrar, che gli impose di lasciare la moglie e i figli per sposarla. Non gradendo l’ultimatum Toscanini si dimise da direttore d’orchestra principale del Metropolitan nel 1915 e ritornò in Italia. Infine ebbe una relazione durata 7 anni (dal 1933 al 1940) con la pianista Ada Mainardi; tra i due, nonostante vi fossero 30 anni di differenza, nacque un profondo legame, come risulta da una raccolta di 600 lettere e 300 telegrammi che il maestro le inviò.
