Guido Cantelli - Portrait of a Maestro
Long out of print, Portrait of a Maestro, by Laurence Lewis, is based on interviews with Guido Cantelli's family, friends and musicians who collaborated with him as singers, instrumentalists and orchestral players.
Their memories are set against the time in which Cantelli lived - fascist Italy, his deportation during the war, Toscanini's last years with the NBC Symphony Orchestra and his concerts and recordings with the Philharmonia Orchestra.
The book includes photographs, complete listings of all his concerts and discography.
Published originally in 1981 by A S Barnes (USA) Tantivy Press (UK). Price £15.00 including post and packing from: guido.cantelli@lhpq.demon.co.uk

FAQ
FLAC downloads perfectly match CD quality or higher.
Our MP3 files are encoded at at a constant rate of 320kbps for all issues since mid-August 2008, and using the LAME encoder at high variable bitrate settings for older issues.
Each recording is presented as a single, long MP3 which can be split using the CUE sheet at the bottom of the page, automatically adding track titles and other tag information.
Most modern CD writing programs such as Nero and Burrrn can write these files directly to CD with all track information added using MP3+CUE - see our tutorial
Alternatively a cue splitter program can automatically cut and name the MP3 into individual MP3 tracks
There are also media players which use the MP3+CUE system, allowing gapless playback of all long MP3 files - essential for opera and many other classical works
