	University of Cincinnati News: New Libraries Collection Linked to Famed Conductor
		Schippers was conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) from 1970 until his death in 1977.
		It was Schippers' debut as a professional conductor on Broadway.
		Schippers' spectacular talent, his sense of style and his youthful, handsome looks were the subject of music lovers and writers around the world, but this private man also suffered personal loss, beginning with the death of his wife of eight years, Elaine Lane Phipps ("Nonie") Schippers to cancer in 1973.

	Classical Net Review - Barber - Orchestral Works
		Schippers always zeroed in on where Barber's emotional payoff could be found, and the New York Philharmonic - with probable help from the Columbia engineers - sounded massive and rich, just the sort of sound these pieces cry out for.
		Given the musical affinity between Schippers and Barber, I find it surprising that they never were personally all that close, but it says a lot for Barber that he wrote Antony and Cleopatra primarily at Schippers's urging.
		Schippers and the New York Phil sparkle in the quick sections and sing in the lyrical ones.

	Washingtonpost.com Special Report: Clinton Accused
		David P. Schippers, chief investigative counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, is a Democrat with deep roots in the party who twice voted for Clinton.
		With his white beard, stocky build and slightly rumpled, avuncular demeanor, Schippers projects an image that is the antithesis of the smooth Washington lawyer, and he has assembled a staff who all come from the Chicago area, including his son, Thomas M. Schippers, a former prosecutor in Lake County, Ill.
		Minutes later, Schippers had a quick lesson in those politics: The Democrats quickly complained about his folksy concluding remarks, in which he spoke as a "father and a grandfather" and not as chief counsel.

	TIME Magazine Archive Article -- Spurs at 24 -- Jan. 31, 1955
		One night five years ago, when young Thomas Schippers was conducting Menotti's The Consul on Broadway, he got so excited that the baton slipped from his fingers and sailed over his shoulder into the audience.
		Last week Kalamazoo-born Conductor Schippers, 24, won his golden operatic spurs: the Metropolitan Opera signed him to be the third U.S.-born regular conductor in its 71-year history.* He will bow in a new production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale next season, will add much-needed verve to the Met's stable of good but greying and overworked conductors.
		Schippers is the youngest conductor at the Met since Walter Damrosch, who was signed in 1885 at 22.

		This kept the pyrotechnics of the first version, the spectacle and politics of the second (which played on the Parisians' Byronic sympathy for Greece), and the adaptability of the third version (which went back into Italian and was not geared to the special theatrics of Paris).

	ArkivMusic \| Grand Tier - Puccini: La Bohème / Schippers, Et Al
		Here, however, the lamented Thomas Schippers leads the same pair of singers three years earlier, at an even fresher period of their careers; Freni's Mimi remained moving year-after-year, while Pavarotti's Rodolfo became more labored and finally disappeared as he became more icon than opera singer.
		At this live concert performance he's vocally animated and simply stellar; to this day a tenor hasn't gotten around "Che gelida manina" with such ease, scrupulousness to the score, and charm--not to mention a high-C that is as beautiful as it is secure.
		Schippers gets the sadness as well as the hijinks in this work just right, and his Rome forces play as if they knew they were among stars.

		The most beautiful recording ever made of the Adagio for Strings is at last on CD, thoughtfully coupled with some of the other recordings the young Thomas Schippers made for Columbia Masterworks-of the music of Barber and others-between 1960 and 1965, at the start of his all-to-brief career.
		Although he was never on close personal terms with Barber, Schippers had the ability to put Barber's music across in just the right way, with the perfect blend of energy and lyricism, toughness and warmth, and, above all, with the feeling that its sentiment was real, but ineffably contained.
		The playing of the New York Philharmonic (in the Adagio, as well as in the Second Essay for orchestra, the Overture to The School for Scandal, Andromache's Farewell, and Medea's Dance of Vengeance) is aglow with inspiration, and the sound is exceptionally vivid, with a palpable sense of presence and space.

		I had to order this CD from Europe, but I believe it well worth the cost, despite the fact that you can find the Ormandy and the Schippers domestically.
		The Schippers selections stand among the very best recordings of these works.
		The Ormandy Adagio is fine (and available domestically), but not as powerful as Schippers.

		Her performance here, also conducted by Schippers, is wonderful.
		The ways in which Price accomplishes this feat have much to do both with the clarity of her diction and with the nature of the tone she employs--definitely an American over a European sound.
		Schippers and the New Philharmonia Orchestra provide an adequate ensemble, though by no means one matched to Price's ability to interpret the work.

		Riccardo Muti, Thomas Schippers, Leone Magiera, Antonino Votto, Alain Lombard,
		She's a ravishing Mimi in two arias from the complete 1964 performance led by Thomas Schippers, and arias from La rondine, Gianni Schicchi, and Turandot are almost as wonderful.
		Tosca and Butterfly are two roles light lyrics wisely avoid, but her 1968 "Vissi d'arte" and "Un bel di" combine vocal magic with compelling projection of the characters' fragility.
