Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Yoshi,

I do not think that it is the case that you and Clark are tying to present. Conductors they are notorious for making faces and expresses dissatisfaction with their on recordings. In many cases it has little to do with the recording themselves but with the conductors egos. As the illustration I would remind an inflames story when Toscanini was frying in 40s in airplane and was listening a recorded broadcast of Beethoven 3th or 5th, I do not remember which one…. Toscanini hated the performance and while was listening he was bitching to his colleges in that plane complaining  that this moment was completely wrong, this moment had horrible tempi, this moment had very poor phraseology, that moment had completely wrong reading and so on. In the end he completely trashed the performance. How big was his surprise when he heard an announcement after the broadcast that the transmission was Arturo Toscanini performing Beethoven with NBC Symphony Orchestra...
