Their feeling was that maybe Rodzinski had thrown a little money around, but he had built the orchestra again into a first-rate symphony, using the same old hands (only the piano player and the first horn were new). He had given Chicagoans the finest opera they had heard in years: a concert version of Elektra with Marjorie Lawrence, and Tristan und Isolde with Kirsten Flagstad. He had given the musicians some rough treatment at rehearsals -but no conductor was ever fired...
