Arturo Toscanini
Arturo Toscanini (Italian: [arˈtuːro toskaˈniːni]; March 25, 1867 – January 16, 1957) was an Italian conductor. He was one of the most acclaimed musicians of the late 19th and of the 20th century, renowned for his intensity, his perfectionism, his ear for orchestral detail and sonority, and his photographic memory. He was at various times the music director of La Scala Milan, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Later in his career he was appointed the first music director of the NBC Symphony Orchestra (1937–54), and this led to his becoming a household name (especially in the United States) through his radio and television broadcasts and many recordings of the operatic and symphonic repertoire.

Famous quotes by Arturo Toscanini:
"God tells me how the music should sound, but you stand in the way."
"I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I haven't had time for tobacco since."
"After I die I shall return to earth as the doorkeeper of a bordello and I won't let a one of you in."
"To some it is Napoleon, to some it is a philosophical struggle, to me it is allegro con brio."
"Can't you read? The score demands "con amore," and what are you doing? You are playing it like married men!"
"When I was young, I kissed my first woman and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. Believe me, never since have I wasted any more time on tobacco."
"Assassins!"
