Notes
Satina indicates that this concert began at 8.30pm, while the attached review notes an audience of over 16,000. Satina notes that this was part of a Five Festivals Concert arranged by Walter Damrosch for a ‘Musicians’ Emergency Fund’. At the time, Satina believed that it was the only joint appearance of Fritz Kreisler and Rachmaninoff, however it is apparent that they played - together - in a concert in Middlesbrough, UK, on October 18 1911.
