...audience had, in fact, come to honor both the living and the dead. The final lush chords of Boito's music (from his operas Mefistofele and Nerone) were drowned by applause. But when 81-year-old Conductor Toscanini hopped spryly down from the podium, the whole house was on its feet screaming "viva il maestro;" cried one voice, "Non c'e che lui" (he's in a class by himself).

The First had little of the lush lyricism of his later works; it sounded more like Tchaikovsky's Festival Overture, "1812"-without the cannon...
