Summary
  1. Vivian Della Chiesa, a noted American soprano and a friend of maestro, sang many radio performances with Toscanini who chose her for the recording of Brahms' German Requiem that later became quite famous. She remembers him as a charming person socially, but very demanding at work: "Jekyll and Hyde", are her words. She says that a God given inner fire and dedication made him so special, and that people like that are "chosen".
