Talk:Erich Leinsdorf

message: I made a series of edits that add up to a fairly substantial revision...I thought I'd sum up here and ask for comments:
*I added a section for Leinsdorf's books--I think for musicians these, especially Composer's Adovocate, are as big a legacy as the records.
*I added catalog numbers to the Recordings section--I hope that's kosher.  I can't find coherent guidance for discography anywhere on WP--what little there is is very pop oriented and fairly useless for classical and jazz musicians who made hundreds of recordings which come out in numerous formats and compilations.
*I tried to "flesh out" the intro a bit, and added the bit about his real name.  Does anyone know why he changed it?  Anyway please don't delete that since I'm adding a redirect from "Erich Landauer".
*I also expanded and reworked the bio section somewhat.  I switched the paragraphs on the Kennedy Assassination story and the IPO 6-day-war incident, and found a source for the IPO bit; but I'm actually dubious that either paragraph belongs here at all--they feel fairly unencyclopedic.  If anything they probably belong on the Kennedy Assassination and IPO pages respectively.

replies: text: About the name change, i can only guess he did it because "Landauer" is a typically German-Jewish name (remember Cabaret!). After all, his master Bruno Walter dropped the equally typical "Schlesinger". --RCS 12:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Non-free image?

message: I have moved this entire section here from the article as I think it is inappropriate to list every single recording ever made by a given conductor -- in this case, only those with a particular orchestra.

replies: text: It might be advisable to create a discography article for Leinsdorf, as was done for Arturo Toscanini.  But I agree, it should definitely not be listed in this article, which is a biography.THD3 (talk) 12:15, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
