Montblanc Pens - Limited Edition Arturo Toscanini

The musical career of Arturo Toscanini, born in 1867, spanned seven decades. His repertory included 480 works for the concert hall and about one hundred operas. Toscanini celebrated his first triumph in 1886 on a tour of South America, when he had to step in for a performance of Aida right after the conductor had been fired. He only found a piano arrangement of the opera on his desk. Toscanini took the baton and conducted from memory - it was the beginning of an incomparable career. His high musical standards opened the doors to the leading opera houses in the world to him. In 1937, having reached the zenith of his fame, Toscanini turned to the new media of radio and record as chief conductor of an orchestra founded specifically for him in New York, captivating millions of people every week who were glued to their radios.
