Mendel, Arthur | February 11, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the work of orchestral conductor Arturo Toscanini. It may well be admitted at the outset that a portion of Toscanini's spell is in the remarkable magnetic force of his personality. There are certain artists, oratorical and dramatic as well as musical, who, although not by any means all of equal artistic stature, make the same sort of direct personal appeal. Each listener or spectator at times feels a special personal understanding and sympathy, even affection, for the artist. But the force of his power wears off a good deal after frequent hearings over a considerable period.
