Start classification

I have classified this article as a start due to the level of detail. However, it needs sourcing throughout, sections, pictures and an infobox. Capitalistroadster 07:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carasso

Several facts were wrong in this article. These are the correct facts.

Pierre and Roger Carasso are NOT Maurice's children. They are the children of Albert and Lucy Carasso. After Albert died of cancer, Lucy and Maurice married. Albert and the Carasso's were also Sephardic Jews from Salonika, Greece. Lucy was Maurice's 2nd wife, his main wife, his wife for some 50 years. Carolyn was only married to him for a few years before he died, and was very much a caretaker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.109.116.13 (talk) 05:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can only comment about this article's accuracy on one point: that Abravanel was the first conductor to record all of the Mahler symphonies. That is patently untrue. By the time Abravanel completed his series with the Utah Symphony in 1974, Leonard Bernstein, Sir Georg Solti, Rafael Kubelik and Bernard Haitink had all finished theirs. Abravanel was the first conductor to record all of the symphonies with an American orchestra, however. Pbubny (talk) 22:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The argument about the Mahler Symphonies can be settled as follows - it seems to be accepted that Abravanel was the first conductor to record a complete cycle entirely in the US - Bernstein did the Eighth in London. In fact it seems to have taken Abravanel and his forces fifteen years to complete the task86.133.69.132 (talk) 14:49, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
