Amazing to think we were able to listen to someone in 2012 who had helped another man born in 1867 deal with this "new" technology of the radio. Really shows how recent all of this was.
Alan Shulman comment is what many conductors tend to forget: the music is the only thing that matters, above and beyond the conductor. I don't think that people, even back then, would have put up with his famous outbursts if that was not evident.

Beautiful!
And the great Bruno Walter was a great fan of Toscanini...
So were George Szell and Fritz Reiner (also tyrranical geniuses)
They very good friend and they were great fan of the other.
era iroso, ma rimane il più grande di tutti
