Women on the Podium
By Ralph Graves
Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 9:00 am “Analog Masters” features women conductors.
Harold Schonberg, in his 1967 tome The Great Conductors, made it clear that a great conductor had to be male. Yet, as early as 1930, Antonia Brico had directed the Berlin Philharmonic to considerable critical acclaim. Veronika Dudarova conducted in Russia for over 50 years. And Aviva Einhorn became the first woman to conduct in Israel.
Their recordings are rare, but well worth hearing. Tom Godell present three remarkable examples in this broadcast.
