Eugene Ormandy, 1969 Interview: Reflections on Fritz Kreisler, Kirsten Flagsted, Marian Anderson 

So wonderful to hear my father’s voice interviewing Ormandy. He died in 2005 so it’s very special to be able to visit this every so often. Thank you so much for uploading this!

This was SO good, thank you.

I too, want to thank you for posting this guys. I'm a big Eugene Ormandy fan. I love him and The Philadelphia Orchestra. I have a lot of their recordings as well. I found this conservation very interesting. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for this. The first time I went to the orchestra in Philadelphia in 1964 Ormandy conducted, and as a Philadelphian I have valued his immense contribution to the city's culture. To hear his voice and understand through his testimony his well-known humanity and grace is a great reward. Thank you again- PJTramdack (Philobiblion)

Thank you for posting this. I grew up listening to the recordings of Ormandy. This is the first time I've ever heard an interview with him.

This was the bonus record that came with the new RCA release of Tchaikovsky 6th with Ormandy and the PO celebrating their return to RCA. A great reminiscence.

Thank you for posting. By coincidence, I bought this recording today for a quarter at a library book sale. I'd never heard Ormandy's voice before.

Quite a nice interview full of vivid episodes of the great deceased artists. Thank you for the precious upload!

I have always loved the story about Kreisler! The others are wonderful as well! ❤️
