...Thomas was obviously having fun. So was the audience, which has come to realize that with all his antics he is a true musician with a firm, direct beat, a rare sense of rhythm, a clear conception of everything he plays. Except for a youthful Mozart symphony Sir Thomas presented an all-British program. An overture by the redoubtable Dame Ethel Smyth was commonplace noise. Delius was represented by a sensitive, finely spun dance from Koanga, a delicate serenade from Hassan.

This he played last Sunday in a broadcast...

Ignoring a strict Salzburg rule, the lean old Maharaja & friend pushed by a doorkeeper, swept down the aisle to their seats in the first row. Toscanini, who had lifted his baton to begin the last movement of a Mozart symphony, heard the commotion, turned around to glare, bowed ironically, growled: "Well, I can wait." The sympathetic audience broke into loud cheers which for a moment the flustered Maharaja seemed to take as a personal ovation.
