From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

As I mentioned at the time, I consider Robert C. Marsh a credible source of info, although Claudia Cassidy's unwarranted influence on the Chicago cultural scene (as reported by Time Magazine) could have been another factor in Kubelik's dismissal. From what I've read of her writings, she does sound like an idiot. (BTW, there's a 1993 article in the "Chicago Reader" by Ted Shen, where Shen, possibly following the conventional wisdom of the Time article, writes: "After Frederick Stock's death in 1942 a parade of maestros tried out--the last of whom, Rafael Kubelik, was practically hounded out of town by the Tribune's Claudia Cassidy." Much of Shen's article is however concerned with what a "petit rien" Daniel Boringboim is - consequently, I greatly enjoyed most of it!)

As I've already mentioned in this thread, I'm eagerly awaiting access to this forthcoming Kubelik/CSO release, whose contents I expect to sound better than ever before (not to mention its inclusion of those 1952 stereo recordings, which I hope are complete movements, not just excerpts).
