Eugene Ormandy
While the Glee Club still performs traditional Rutgers Songs at football games (and directed the publication of a book thereof), the group has focused as well on concert performance. Under the leadership of "Soup" Walter, the Glee Club performed regularly with the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra under the batons of such notable directors as Erich Leinsdorf, Leonard Bernstein and Eugene Ormandy. Recordings from that era include the Glee Club as the men's section in Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" (still available on compact disc on Sony's Essential Classics series), and the Grammy-nominated performance of Sir William Walton's "Belshazzar's Feast", both conducted by Eugene Ormandy with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
