...Guido Cantelli (Philharmonia Orchestra; Angel). Five months before he was killed in a plane crash in 1956, young Conductor Cantelli, No. 1 protege of the great Toscanini, spent several days recording in London. This posthumous disk presents Cantelli's remarkably fresh reading of a couple of concert cliches: Debussy's L'Aprés-Midi d'un Faune, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe Suite #2. Strained through Cantelli's clear musical consciousness, the lush music flows out simply, movingly, and with none of the sudsy emotional film that so often clouds...
...make a heavy date with his civic-minded wife drives him to guilt-ridden sessions "of candlelight and yum-yum" with a sex-famished neighbor; the neighbor's absentee husband, a cigar-chomping titan of TV; an amiable, lovesick sheep in second lieutenant's clothing named Guido di Maggio ("Hey, di Maggio, let's play some ball"); di Mag's girl, a progressive schoolteacher who starts the whole town talking with her sex talks to second graders; a real-estate shyster who turns swampland into pay dirt by renaming it "Powderhorn Hill"; a toothsome teen...

...began to fail. Bad news, such as the death in an airplane crash last November of his protege Guido Cantelli, was kept from him. On New Year's Day, he suffered a stroke, prelude to the death that came in his sleep. The big loudspeakers in the living room were silent, but everywhere the eulogies and the memorials began. In Manhattan's St. Patrick's Cathedral, a solemn pontifical Requiem Mass was offered by Cardinal Spellman (though Toscanini had never been noticeably religious). His body will be taken to Milan for burial. Arturo Toscanini's epitaph...
...Small Profit, Big Turnover. Founded in 1888 to exploit the old copper mines around the ancient spa of Montecatini, the company perked along modestly until 1910, when hard-driving Guido Donegani, a young mining engineer, moved into the presidency and set out to build a self-contained empire. He began mining the area's neglected iron pyrite deposits (for sulphuric acid), then built a plant to process the pyrite wastes, and extracted 600,000 tons of pig iron yearly-a boon for iron-poor Italy. He made blasting powder for his own mines and turned Catini into Italy...
