Something wrong?The conductor who turned precision into legend. Toscanini's eidetic memory and unforgiving ear made him the most influential figure on the podium for half a century - and NBC's broadcasts carried that intensity into American living rooms.

Born March 25, 1867, in Italy, Arturo Toscanini rose through the operatic world to lead La Scala in Milan, then crossed the Atlantic to direct the New York Philharmonic. His perfectionism and command of orchestral detail set a new standard for conducting. In 1937 he was appointed the first music director of the NBC Symphony Orchestra, a post he held until 1954. Radio and television broadcasts transformed him into a household name, especially in the United States, where his recordings of the operatic and symphonic repertoire reached millions. He died January 16, 1957, having reshaped what the world expected from the podium.
