Was coming around for radio stuff toward end poss. Sadly not before lucerne perfs.
Rach pretty much NEVER broadcast on radio as part of a pact with Kreisler
When he “appeared” on radio, one of his recs was usually played instead
I remember reading that somewhere that he broadcast a pimpson, which would make it exactly 1924-1925
In an article for Gramophone, April 1931, Rachmaninoff defended an earlier stated view on the musical value of radio, about which he was ZKEPTIKAL: „the modern gramophone and modern methods of recording are musically superior to wireless transmission in every way“.
Gay and grim.
I saw a 1919 article where he said he pledged never to broadcast. Was gonna clip it but basically him thinking up excuses to juice his box office and rec sales. Hated that shit early yo!
