. . . has certainly made me want to re-listen to my Ormandy recordings (and possibly investigate some more) and has also confirmed my view of Szell. I especially like the part where the audience is wildly applauding after what Brusilow implies is one of Szell's perfect but soulless performances, and, as Szell comes out to accept the ovations, Gingold leans over and whispers to Brusilow, "Big deal". I loved that!

Also, the part where Szell stepped in and prevented Brusilow from going to Finland (with the Philadelphia) and getting some coaching on the Sibelius Concerto from the composer himself just confirmed to me what an a**hole Szell was.
