Toscanini/NBC 1953 Enigma Var- cellist?
Just heard this- some awesomely beautiful slides in the cello solo. Would that have been Frank Miller? Thanks for the help.

Re: YES!! It's Frank Miller
Besides the Enigma Variations, are there other recordings of Frank Miller out there?

Other Miller recordings
There's a Brahms Double with Miller and Mischakoff and Toscanini/NBC. There's a Don Quixote with Miller and Toscanini/NBC. Also, a Haydn Sinfonia Concertante with Mischakoff, Miller, Sharrow, and the NBC oboist, with Toscanini/NBC. ALL are currently available from BMG.

Miller can be heard on the Reiner and Ozawa Scheherezades with the CSO, Giulini's CSO Mahler 9, Reiner's 1962 CSO Zarathustra, and on Solti's CSO Enigma Variations....to name just a few.

He appeared in Chamber Ensembles in the LP era with the New York Piano Quartet on Mercury and Columbia and recorded clarinet trios with Kell and Horszowski for American Decca. These items can be scarce.

The Brahms Double is also available on video. It's an amazing performance.

It's in the Toscanini series, volume 3, RCA Victor Gold Seal, 60334-3-RG.
Maybe Gary knows where you can still get it. I'm not sure.

Re: A video, you say?
I only occasionally see these videos at Tower stores, etc. The laserdisc versions are long gone, but VHS copies do pop up on occasion. I'm not positive that they're still in print. You might want to check the Tower or Amazon web-sites. Good luck. All 10 Toscanini/NBC telecasts are revelatory----especially the Mozart 40, Dvorak Symphonic Variations, Wagner Tannhauser Overture program----White hot from start to finish!!!!
