Comments and Reviews


LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Dec 2020		This recording actually features the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and was recorded at the Vienna Konzerthaus in 1951. The pseudonym for the orchestra was likely used because of contractual reasons. Dean Dixon was a black conductor in America and struggled with prejudice in the 1940s, which is probably the main reason that he (and his wife, pianist Vivian Rivkin) relocated to Europe in 1949. There is a good article about him at The Art Music Lounge.
