Lot 1484
Great 20th Century Conductors. A wonderful lot of five signed and inscribed black and white 8 x 10" photographs, featuring some of the best known conductors of the last century. Charles Munch, Seiji Ozawa, Andre Kostelantz and Frederick A. Stock appear in portraits, while Eugene Ormandy signed a full orchestra shot. All of the pieces are inscribed to a particular individual and often include a brief salutation, as in Stock's: "To my dear friends Maurice and Hazel Bernstein in all sincerity!" There is minor toning and incidental creasing on some of the portraits, a small repair at the bottom right corner of Munch's and a small chip with hole in the lower left margin of Stock's, but the overall condition is fine.
As a group, these men are responsible for some of the most memorable live and recorded orchestral performances in modern times and this is a wonderful collection of very nice portraits.
Estimated Value $100 - 150.
