Three months\nlater, the ensemble’s board of directors announced that he would not be\nre-engaged for the following season due to disputes over cost and artistic\ncontrol issues. His one season, however, was a marked success with both\ncritics and audiences, and resulted in a handful of memorable recordings.\nThis release assembles all of them on CD together for the first time, and\nadds the not inconsequential bonus of his complete recordings for the\nRemington label.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBy the time he assumed leadership of the Chicago Symphony, Rodziński (1892\n– 1958) had enjoyed a charmed career. After being Stokowski’s assistant in\nPhiladelphia (1925-29), he took on the directorship of the Los Angeles\nPhilharmonic (1929-33), then succeeded Nikolai Sokoloff in Cleveland\n(1933-43). Rodziński developed a reputation as an orchestra builder that\nled to his being tapped to select and train the fledgling NBC Symphony in\npreparation for Toscanini’s arrival in late 1937.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nUpon the death of longtime director Frederick Stock in 1942, the Chicago\nboard first turned to Rodziński to see if he was interested in leaving\nCleveland for the Windy City; but before they made a concrete offer, he was\nsnatched up by the New York Philharmonic to replace Barbirolli, beginning\nin 1943. When the CSO’s second-choice pick, Désiré Defauw, proved\ndisappointing, the board turned again to Rodziński. By that time, the\nconductor had run into clashes with the Philharmonic’s management that were\nto lead to his departure for Chicago at the end of the 1946-47 season.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAlmost immediately, Rodziński was at odds with the head of the CSO’s board,\nsteel magnate Edward Ryerson, who was also a principal contributor to the\norchestra’s finances. The conductor announced an ambitious schedule which\nfeatured several opera performances, including a \u003cem\u003eTristan\u003c\/em\u003e which\nwould mark Kirsten Flagstad’s first U.S. appearance after the end of the\nwar. He also floated the idea of moving the ensemble’s concerts from\nOrchestra Hall to the superior acoustics of the Auditorium of Roosevelt\nCollege, which was a non-starter to the board. His efforts to replace some\nplayers in the orchestra ran into Ryerson’s personal veto.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe situation came to a head in January, 1948, when Rodziński had to bow\nout of a performance for health reasons. The following day, the board\nannounced that his contract would not be renewed. The conductor served out\nhis remaining time there with support from the press and the public; but he\nwas never again to be named music director of any organization.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nHe left behind a handful of recordings for RCA Victor, made over just three\nsessions in the fall of 1947. (There might have been more, save for the\nsecond Petrillo Ban which sidelined recording activity in the U.S. for\nnearly all of 1948.) Principal among these was his only recording of \u003cem\u003eAlso Sprach Zarathustra\u003c\/em\u003e, and the \u003cem\u003eTristan\u003c\/em\u003e Prelude and\nLiebestod, the latter recorded immediately after his much-lauded complete\nperformance. The opera had a particular place in the conductor’s heart. On\nhis deathbed, he told his wife, “I might not have done it as well as others\nhave in my lifetime, but no one has ever loved it more than I have.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAfter leaving Chicago, Rodziński made Europe his base of operations. In\n1952, he signed with the U.S. budget label, Remington Records; but the\nfruit of this agreement was only a single LP, credited to the “Austrian\nSymphony Orchestra” under the direction of “Conductor X”. The original LP\nnotes suggested that the obfuscation was necessary because the maestro\ninvolved had forgotten a prior contractual commitment that precluded his\nappearance on another label; but the real story is that American Federation\nof Musicians head James Petrillo threatened a boycott on further Rodziński\nperformances in the U.S. if the record were issued. To avoid the problem,\nthe compromise was to issue the disc anonymously.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark Obert-Thorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003eARTUR RODZIŃSKI and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra -\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e Complete Recordings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCD 1 (64:28)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWAGNER Tristan und Isolde\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
