Katharine Hepburn, violinist Jascha Heifetz, and Peter Lorre, August 10, 1939.

These folks are at Lawrence Tibbett’s New York home, discussing the "showdown" between opposing theatrical unions. Source

Sophie Tucker was president of the American Federation of Actors, the union whose internal frictions brought the crisis to a head.

An agnostic, Rubinstein was proud of his Jewish heritage. He was a great friend of Israel, which he visited several times with his wife and children, giving concerts with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, recitals, and master classes at the Jerusalem Music Centre. In 1949, Rubinstein—who lost family members in the Holocaust—along with other prominent musicians (including Horowitz and Heifetz) announced that he would not appear with the Chicago Symphony if it engaged the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, who had remained in Germany during the war and who had performed a symphony for Hitler's birthday.

From the Wikipedia page of Arthur Rubinstein, the Polish-American pianist widely considered to be one of the greatest interpreters of Chopin of all time. I am listening to Arthur Rubinstein perform Chopin’s mazurkas right now. Rubinstein was deeply attached to Poland, once performing the Polish national anthem to great acclaim after being angry that a Polish delegation had not been invited.

Virtuosity

What is the definition of a virtuoso? Where the English language fails, perhaps a playlist will suffice.

Before diving into the Romantic Period, it is important to take stock of how the music world had changed over the last two centuries. Through much of music history to this point, the Church had been the primary benefactor of the great composers. As the Church’s influence began to wane, particularly in the German States, the nobility assumed primacy over music, which took a more secular turn. But…

Radio Faux Show Volume 2, Number 35 (September 25, 2022): The National Recording Registry Part One (Pre-1955)

This Week’s Theme: The National Recording Registry Part One (Pre-1955) This week we are taking a deep dive into the historical research aspect of the Radio Faux Show. This week’s show is best described as a collection of recordings rather than a playlist of songs because this week’s show is part one of a four-part show about the National Recording Registry. I have been planning this theme for…
