  Guido Cantelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guido Cantelli (April 27, 1920 – November 24, 1956) was an Italian orchestral conductor
Born in Novara, Italy, Cantelli was named Musical Director of La Scala, Milan on November 16, 1956, but died one week later.
Maestro Arturo Toscanini was particularly impressed by him, and he wrote in a note to Cantelli's wife Iris in 1950, after four concerts of Cantelli as guest conductor with the NBC Symphony Orchestra:

At age 36, Cantelli was considered a potential successor to Dimitri Mitropoulos as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic, and was appointed principal conductor at La Scala in November of 1956, when he died in a plane crash at Paris' Orly Airport.
Cantelli emphasized fidelity to the score as written, in terms of tempo and detail, and he downplayed what he regarded as the subjective emotionalism that characterized the work of most conductors of the era.
Cantelli was extremely popular in New York, not only with the NBC Symphony which, it was assumed, he might eventually take over from Toscanini, who had retired in 1954, but also with the New York Philharmonic, which reportedly was considering him as a potential replacement for Dimitri Mitropoulos, their extremely talented but embattled chief conductor.

 Guido Cantelli (Conductor) - Short Biography
The Italian conductor, Guido Cantelli, was both the youngest and shortest-lived of the world-class conductors born between 1908 and 1920, a remarkable group that included Herbert von Karajan, Georg Solti, Leinsdorf, Carlo Maria Giulini, and Leonard Bernstein.
His musical youth was conventional and he received keybord instruction: early evidence of a gift, he was given a place in his father's military band when he was a small boy; appeared as organist at the local church from age 10; made his debut as a pianist at age 14.
Guido Cantelli returned to his home city in 1941 as director of the Theatre Coccia, opened in 1888 by Toscanini, who became his champion in the last decade of both their lives.

Haggin, B. WHEN GUIDO CANTELLI was killed in an airplane crash on November 24, 1956, the loss was what it would have been if Arturo Toscanini had been killed in a train wreck in 1903.
...Cantelli did, like Toscanini, bring to his task a complete commitment of his musical powers and his personal energies, an insistence on the complete achievement in sound of the image of the music in his mind...
...And the particular case of Cantelli provides the occasion to make a general point: that we are far from achieving, or even thinking of attempting, what our technology makes possible in keeping the works of great performers of the past on public view as the works of great painters of the past are in museums...

 Guido Cantelli (English)
Intensity does indeed seem to have been the predominant feature of Guido Cantelli's life: photographs of his activity and meetings portray him as a man who rarely smiled, with a demanding, analytic gaze and severe attitudes that seem to stem from an awareness of the little time at his disposal.
Although he had previously had successes of no modest entity, it is clear that the public at large became aware of Guido Cantelli as a conductor when Toscanini focussed on him a degree of interest that he had never before shown for any young colleague.
In his commemoration of Cantelli, Rodolfo Celletti began by underlining this same phenomenon: "The myth of the conductor is a modern myth, born of cultural and artistic requirements that belong to our own times, coined by a taste that is of our times, fed on the manners of our times.

Toscanini "discovered" Cantelli in 1948 at a post-season orchestral rehearsal in La Scala, where he was being nurtured by music director De Sabata and superintendent Antonio Ghiringhelli.
Cantelli would not call off the rehearsal, however; after his hand was treated and bandaged, he continued.
Cantelli belonged to RCA and EMI, partners until the latter company was acquired by Capitol, and repackaged stateside as Angel Records in 1953.

Cantelli was essentially a lyricist, even given his penchant for modern scores, which made him more allied to Stokowski and Rodzinski than to the conservative Toscanini.
One of two Testament sets devoted to the live broadcast concerts from the Manhattan Center by Guido Cantelli (1920-1956), this set gives us a series of December 1950 programs that are notable for their musical diversity, a taste beholden to Arturo Toscanini but audacious in their modernism and their willingness to revitalize musicof the past.
Cantelli's individual personality is evident throughout these concerts, four of which had their CD debut on Music&Arts (CD-904): Corelli, Geminiani, Vivaldi, and Monteverdi.

Musicians who played with Cantelli have spoken of a talent that was physically uncontrollable, emotional to such a degree that the conductor frequently had to leave the podium to recover.
Cantelli’s performance of the work is unsentimental to an almost desultory degree yet Furtwängler achieved similar results in his incomparable 1938 recording (Naxos 8.110865) with greater expansiveness and expressivity (Cantelli is almost four minutes quicker in the opening movement).
Cantelli’s approach is certainly a valid one — and with wondrously expressive and technically inspired orchestral playing one of the more keenly wrought performances on disc — but somehow the sublime tragedy of this symphony is underwhelming, the lack of interpretation almost anti-Romantic to an obsessive degree.

Cantelli, however, was more than Toscanini’s “discovery” or “creation”: it was La Scala’s storied postwar direttore, Antonio Ghiringhelli, who brought him to the elderly Maestro’s attention in 1948, and EMI’s savvy Walter Legge who furthered his career abroad with discs.
Over and over they misplayed until Cantelli unwittingly ran the baton into his left palm, severely enough that he began to bleed, but was oblivious of the wound until concertmaster John Corigliano stopped the playing and led Cantelli offstage to be doctored.

 Cantelli: March 1953 New York Concert: Music & Arts CD-1140
The second of Guido Cantelli's New York Philharmonic-Symphony Sunday broadcasts of the 1952-53 season was originally to have begun with the Brahms Tragic Overture that had been played by the Philharmonic a week earlier at their concerts of March 5, 6 and 7.
Cantelli was attentive to the music's opportunities for touching lyricism, and that Arrau, subconsciously or not, was caught up in the persuasive orchestral framework (a framework graced by the sensually expressive solos of the fine principal cellist Laszlo Varga and Cantelli's ardent sincerity).
This version with the Philharmonic-Symphony may well be the most potent of his several recordings_thanks to the impactful immediacy of the splendidly miked Carnegie Hall sound and the dark color and physicality of the orchestra's style.

Cantelli's Schumann--lithe, fiery, full of drive, perhaps a little severe for some tastes--also features well-considered details, such as how the busy string figurations are clearly balanced in relation to sustained brass chords.
In the Mendelssohn, Cantelli's tonal refinement and blended sonorities always serve a steady, forward-moving pulse in the first three movements.
While I'd pick Cantelli's complete NBC Symphony recordings to showcase the short-lived conductor's stylistic range, this disc nevertheless provides an excellent and inexpensive introduction to his formidable podium artistry.
