John BarbirolliAbout
Toscanini was the supreme autocrat of the old school, ruling by terror, insult, tantrums and his own daemonic drive. Barbirolli, over thirty years younger, was the benevolent autocrat, more democratic, ruling through comradeship with his players, inviting them and the audience to share his own delight in music. The contrast in their philosophy was reflected in their interpretations: Toscanini inspired awe for the music he conducted; Barbirolli inspired love and affection.
It is overlooked that Barbirolli not only succeeded Toscanini in New York because for seven years he conducted almost alongside him, the one in Carnegie Hall, the other in the NBC studio. Of course, Barbirolli was not then the great conductor he was to become, for most conductors improve with age, but recordings (commercial and off-air) show that he was very good and that the orchestra had a rich and sensitive sound. (He himself confessed in his last years that he ‘sometimes smiled’ at the recollection of his younger interpretations; he constantly re-studied even the most familiar symphonies).
Volume 2 (in a series of 4) features the famous recording of Mozart's Piano Concerto No.27 with Robert Casadesus and a previously unpublished recording of the Clarinet Concerto with Benny Goodman.
