 | | 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. |
