Lorin Maazel
On July 12, 1941 conductor Lorin Maazel led the NBC Summer Symphony in a concert that was broadcast live from coast to coast. He was 11 years old. Among the pieces he led on that 1941 live national broadcast was the Symphony No. 40, the great G-minor Symphony by Mozart. The very same Lorin Maazel just turned 82. And last month, he led another live national broadcast... of that very same piece, the Symphony No. 40, by Mozart. We'll hear this Mozart Symphony, the second time around, on today's Performance Today.
