We were about to pusblish a wanted notice...
We found the following poster on the Internet, which caught our attention and made our thoughts wander. This was in London, in the 1924-1925 season of the London Symphony. It informs us that tomorrow — yes, tomorrow, but what date? — Furtwängler will conduct a fine program including Lalo's Cello Concerto, performed by the great Pablo Casals.
But this concert was not on any list. Not even in John Hunt's Furtwängler and Great Britain. So what happened? Was the concert cancelled?
Fortunately, the LSO archives are well kept — thanks to Libby Rice — and we now know that this concert did indeed take place, on November 24, 1924, four days after another with the Royal Philharmonic.
Our database has been updated.
