Notes
Satina indicated that this was a Rachmaninoff Festival Concert. Instead of The Bells, which was to have been conducted by Rachmaninoff, Damrosch conducted the Spring Cantata. The first attached review notes that Rachmaninoff had 'neurosis' of the arm, although both also indicate that Rachmaninoff felt unable to both conduct and play in the same concert. One of the songs appears to have been 'Spring Waters', op. 14, no. 11, while a further fourth song, which is noted as an encore, could have been op. 4, no. 4. Royal Dadmun is noted as a late replacement for Georges Baklanov. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
