Unfailingly demanding, he insisted that the orchestras show him blind obedience and that the boards in charge run operations smoothly. His temper was legendary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if he was demanding, it was first and foremost of himself. “Little Lorin”, as the former child prodigy was known then, was first asked to lead a professional orchestra when he was nine years old and already a violin virtuoso. When he was eleven, Toscanini invited him to take the baton of the NBC orchestra in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaazel had phenomenal gifts. These, coupled with his sheer hard work and exceptional resilience, resulted in a career of 72 years that encompassed more than 7,000 performances with the most prestigious orchestras worldwide. His repertoire was seemingly boundless. During the 1960s and 1970s, when he was at the helm of the Sinfonie Orchester Berlin, Maazel proved himself to be a maestro of style, a magician of sound gifted with not only a perfect sense of line and colour, but also infallible technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lost Recordings found these hitherto unpublished recordings, made in October 1969 in Studio 1 of Berlin Radio. Here Maazel’s inspiration takes him to the very summit of refinement and expressive intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Lost Recordings","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":53518624784715,"sku":"R9127-0498","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8dc9c2fa-b06f-eb53-2bfa-a77256f96b73.png?v=1759401445"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/lorin-maazel.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
