Eugene Ormandy, 1969 Interview: Reflections on Fritz Kreisler, Kirsten Flagsted, Marian Anderson

Музыка

In this 1969 recording, Philadelphia Orchestra conductor Eugene Ormandy (1899-1985) is interviewed by Roger Hall about his associations with several famous performers, recording technology, and other topics. I created this video from the LP shown above, issued in 1969 on the RCA label, serial number SP-33-555.
The video opens with an excerpt of a December 14, 1936 recording by Ormandy and the PO of the Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony, and concludes with another excerpt, from May 27, 1968.

    So wonderful to hear my father’s voice interviewing Ormandy. He died in 2005 so it’s very special to be able to visit this every so often. Thank you so much for uploading this!

    Thank you so much for this. The first time I went to the orchestra in Philadelphia in 1964 Ormandy conducted, and as a Philadelphian I have valued his immense contribution to the city's culture. To hear his voice and understand through his testimony his well-known humanity and grace is a great reward. Thank you again- PJTramdack (Philobiblion)

    Thank you for posting. By coincidence, I bought this recording today for a quarter at a library book sale. I'd never heard Ormandy's voice before.

    This was the bonus record that came with the new RCA release of Tchaikovsky 6th with Ormandy and the PO celebrating their return to RCA. A great reminiscence.
