  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

  • Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 37,1917-1918, Trip
    ACADEMY OF MUSIC BROOKLYN Bo* 'chestra Thirty-seventh Season, 1917-1918 Dr. KARL MUCK, Conductor WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9 AT 8.15 COPYRIGHT, 1917, BY C.A.ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS. MANAGER FROM the very beginning of a musical education, nothing is so important as a correct appreciation of tone. Hence the child should receive its early impressions from a Steinway Piano. The exquisite Steinway tone is recognized as ideal, and it has made this instrument world- famous. Superior craftsmanship builds the Steinway for lifetime usage, and all the strain of "prac- tice years" does not make its action uneven or lessen its sweet- ness and resonance of tone. Under these circumstances, no other instrument is "good enough to begin on." Consider, too, that a Steinway costs but little more than an ordinary "good" piano.

Catalunya ha tingut homes eminents, homes representatius, en totes èpoques, que per sí sols demostren la força, la fesomia incon- fundible de nostra rassa; savis i poetes, artistes i filosops : grans reis de la nació, grans reis del pensament i de la fantasia. 1 si hem tingut èpoques de decadència, en canvi, ara última• ment, amb aquesta reacció de rassa que en diem Renaixensa, han surgit altra volta aquests esperits singulars que són com la flor de l'arbre de la Pàtria i que demostren la vida fecunda que l'anima. Però de la última plèiade de grans homes de Catalunya, cap tan alt, cap tan fecundant a l'espiritualitat catalana com el Dr. Torras i Bages. I és perquè ell era el gran català pensador, vident, el gran català cristià. Per la intel·ligència som homes, pel cristianisme pugem a la perfecció i ens divinitzem; el Dr. Torras era potent en la ciència del pensament i tenia el ver esperit d'apòstol de la Veritat revelada, i aixi ell s'imposava a qui sedejava veritat i perfecció, i per això la seva influencia fecundía bellament i sanament en el jardí intel·lectual i espiritual de Catalunya.
