                      His recordings are rare enough, but that clip was a first for me too, which was why I posted it. Why did he burst into tears at the sight of the drum? Was it because it was exactly what was required, or that they had made a bad job of the reproduction?
                      I think that Toscanini was recently dead and the sight of the hooge drum bore in on the realisation that he was now carrying the torch, end of an era stuff

                        Hang on a sec, ams, he pre-deceased Toscanini by two months so surely that can't be right?

                          well another fine theory goes West, innit

                          Toscanini gave his last concert in 1954; Cantelli was killed in 1956, and gave performances of Verdi Requiem in 1955, so prehaps this fits the story better ().

                          Cantelli was killed in November 1956 and Toscanini died in January 1957, never having been told of Cantelli's death

                              Could it be Symon Goldberg, violinist, and Goldberg Variations?

                              What the group is I have yet to discover .... unless I'm completely wrong!

                              Oooooh Mr Grimsdale, Mr Grimsdaa-aaaaale!

                              The Goldberg Ensemble is a string ensemble formed in 1982 in Manchester, UK.
