The 82-year-old\nmaestro had persuaded the 28-year-old Cantelli to follow him across the\nAtlantic from Milan to New York in late 1948, and thence to begin giving\nbroadcasts with the orchestra in January 1949.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAfter the success of the opening concert of 15 January, Cantelli began work\non his second programme, whilst writing daily letters to his wife, Iris,\nback in Italy:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n“I must tell you about today’s rehearsal. In the first part I did \u003cem\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/em\u003e [Tchaikovsky] and here I really believed I had\nall eyes on me, even those of the Maestro behind my back. Then I went on to \u003cem\u003ePaganiniana\u003c\/em\u003e by Casella. At half-past-four I rested and went\nquickly to the Maestro to hear his impressions about the Tchaikovsky —\n‘Good, very good.’ I swear to you, I don’t understand anything any more,\nbecause it seemed the opposite to me! Being the first time, I found myself\nin difficulty at certain moments: tomorrow, I will be more frank…”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRehearsals continued, with Cantelli simultaneously finding himself in a\nwhirlwind of social engagements – after hearing the young conductor would\nbe dining with Bernstein, Toscanini exclaimed: “let all the conductors of\nAmerica come, let them come and they will learn something!”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe concert took place without a hitch on 22 January 1949, Cantelli once\nagain giving his immediate impressions in a letter to Iris:\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n“Here I am, back from the concert. I think everything went well — even the\nTchaikovsky! I interpreted it a little in my own way, although in\nrehearsals, I tried to follow the suggestions of the Maestro. I’ll tell you\nabout this when I return . . . Casella went well, but it could be done\nbetter, the lack of rehearsal time prevented me from going deep into it.\nAfter Tchaikovsky, the public gave me an ovation which was immense, but\nthis was not enough for me because I was not able to be alone with the\nMaestro after the concert and don’t yet know his impression...”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe concert was preserved for the archives on discs transcribed during the\nbroadcast, and I was able to work from a fine transfer of a set of these\ndelicate records. There was slight evidence of wear during certain peaks,\ncausing a little high end distortion, but overall the sound quality is\nfine. As with other broadcasts from the notoriously ‘dead’ acoustic of\nNBC’s Studio 8H a combination of XR remastering and Ambient Stereo\nprocessing has rendered it a far more pleasant listen than might be\nimagined possible to someone hearing the original discs.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003eCANTELLI at the NBC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
