Manuel de Falla - “Homenajes“ (exc.) (US Premiere) I. Fanfare sobre el nombre de E. F. Arbós IV. Pedrelliana (exc.) Dimitri Mitropoulos … Conductor New York Philharmonic Carnegie Hall, NY; February 18, 1954 “He had the most phenomenal memory of anyone I have ever met. …He always rehearsed from memory and knew every note by heart, as well as the text. It was absolutely staggering.… He was a very pure musician of great intensity and integrity.… He was very self-effacing, and probably one of the most altruistic people I ever met.” Daniel Barenboim, A Life in Music (New York: Arcade Pub., 2003), 48–49.
