No one like me – Artur Rodzinski

While he rested on summer vacation, the conductor of New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Artur Rodzinski (1892-1958), listened to the radio. Classical music was on the program, and his favorite work, Shostakovich's “Symphony No. 5 in D minor ".

Rodzinski carefully listened to the performance...

"Well, well, this guy really knows how to lead the melody, " Rodzinski noted.

"But in any case, he is not very creative nor original as an artist, since he is trying to emulate some of my best interpretations of Shostakovich", angrily concluded the musician.

When the performance ended, he relaxed.  

The announcer said that the audience had the opportunity to hear the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Rodzinski.
