Amazing talent. I was fortunate to see his genious in person.
He recorded the 4 Symphonies by Robert Schumann with the NY Philharmonic back in the 60’s. #2 was my favorite recording for years (until I discovered Grieg).
A parade with tanks on Red Square would be appropriate for this Communist fiend.
Yes. Whatever one thinks of his personal life or political beliefs he was a genius and a rare talent. I watched some old reruns of some TV programs he did in the 1950s and 60s...Omnibus and the Children’s’ Concert Series. His love for music was unsurpassed and he had the gift for making it more understandable for non musicians such as myself.
