Quote of the week: High time we dispelled the myth of infallibility attached to Toscanini … Read Kevin Sutton

Quote of the week: It may be that his voice was under par at the time and a good gargle was in order. Unfortunately, there are times when he sounds as if he is resorting to this remedy while singing – particularly at Pacius’s more mellifluous melismas (several notes to one syllable). Otto eventually plunges himself to his death in the Rhine – not soon enough in this case. John Leeman
