	George Szell - Biography
		Szell’s gifts of musical ear and memory were apparent from the age of two, when he was able to sing forty folk songs in several languages and to correct his mother’s playing the piano by slapping her wrist when she made mistakes.
		Szell, who had been a constant presence around the orchestra and was known to know the music in the night’s concert, was asked to take over, which he did with poise and great success.
		Szell’s artistry, as amply demonstrated by his recorded legacy, is his depth of understanding of the great classic and romantic composers -- Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, and Dvorák -- and the brilliance he brought to his interpretations of music of the twentieth century.

		Szell was a wunderkind, playing a Mozart piano concerto with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra when he was 10, and composing a number of quite solid chamber and orchestral works in lush late Romantic style as a child and teenager.
		Szell was in America in 1939 when war broke out in Europe; he remained in the U.S. through the war, first depending on guest engagements and then, in 1942, becoming a regular conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, where he was especially praised for his Wagner performances.
		Although Szell made a few recordings in Europe in the 1950s and '60s for Decca and in Cleveland at the very end of his life for EMI, as well as scattered 78-era efforts, the bulk of his substantial discography was the result of his long collaboration with Columbia Records in Cleveland.

	George Szell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is said that Szell, among all conductors, had a baton with "one of the sharpest points" because his orchestras were distinguished by their precision.
		Szell quickly realized that he was never going to make a career out of being a composer or pianist, and that he much preferred that artistic control that was granted to conductors.
		Szell made it clear to the managers of the Orchestra that if they wanted him to be their next conductor, they would have to agree to give him total artistic control of the Orchestra; they agreed.

	George Szell: Decca and Philips Recordings, 1951-1969
		Devoted to the British and European recorded legacy of George Szell (1897-1970), this Decca contribution to the Original Masters series repeats all of the Concertgebouw inscriptions 1951-1966 that had been assembled for George Szell/The Concertgebouw Recordings: The Early Years (Philips 442 727-2).
		Szell performances carry the epithet “contrived,” in the sense that little is left to chance, little to the spontaneity of the moment.
		But Szell would hardly consider such criticism negative; rather, he would lament the fact that by his standards, orchestral discipline away from him was too often lax.
