Talk:Eugene Ormandy

Sources

Although the article does not contain footnotes, the text is supported by a variety of books and recordings. Charles O'Connell, who produced Ormandy's early RCA Victor recordings in Philadelphia's Academy of Music, made it clear that Ormandy was an exceptional musician. O'Connell actually liked Ormandy better than Toscanini, whom he considered a martinet and an uncooperative conductor (when it came to making 78-rpm recordings). He also said that Ormandy's experiences as a violinist helped him to achieve the fabulous, lush string playing by the Philadelphia musicians. Sallyrob 19:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I will try to find sources for some of the items in this article. I have followed Eugene Ormandy's career over the years and have heard many of his recordings. When the Philadelphia Orchestra was broadcast on a local station, I often listened to the broadcasts. I've also read a bit about Ormandy. I'm sure it will be possible to verify the information in this article. Sallyrob 15:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I have found a most unusual statement early in the article: "At five years old the young Ormandy began to give concerts as a violinist at age seven." Huh? If we had some ham we could have some ham and eggs, if we had some eggs.Estoude1 02:16, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I found a statement that cannot be factual: "In 1921 he moved to the United States of America (taking his name from the ship on which he traveled, the SS Normandie)." In fact, the SS Normandie text link refers to an excellent article in Wikipedia that maintains the date of its maiden voyage, in 1932, 11 years after Ormandy was said to arrive in the USA and take his new name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dotran3 (talk • contribs) 00:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Please Fix?

The link to the Ormandy discography is broken (because Geocities is broken). The whole thing has been moved to http://www.geocities.jp/ormandy/ormandy_disk_e.html I don't understand the syntax and don't want to mess around, or I would do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.21.65 (talk) 18:42, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

"Eugene" being the equivalent of the Hungarian "Jenő"

The two names are traditionally regarded as being equivalent, but are in fact historically unrelated. Kostaki mou (talk) 22:27, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Add real name in lead?

Hello. In my recent edit to this page, I tried to incorporate his real name into the lead, but it was reverted. I've started a discussion here per WP:BRD.

According to WP:BIRTHNAME, it says "In some cases, subjects have legally changed their names at some point after birth. In these cases the birth name should be given as well", regarding the lead section. Should we mention his full name in the lead section of the article per that guideline?
