Conductor, B. WALTON O'DONNELL
TOM KINXIBURGH (Bass)
EDWARD NAPRAVNIK was born in Bohemia, lived most of his life in Russia, rose to be chief conductor of the Imperial Opera, and died in 1915, aged seventy-six. He composed a number of works which are masterly in technique, but reminiscent in subject matter—conductors are always at the disadvantage of becoming saturated with what they hear and of finding it impossible to wring their minds dry of it.
Don Juan , of which this is the overture, is a concert vocal setting of a poem by Count Alexei Tolstoy , a poet and dramatist and distantly related to Leo, the Tolstoy.
