Quite frankly, when one reads interviews with Szell, the last thing that would occur to the reader was that Szell would ever be unreasonable. As they say, not without reason. And that’s the problem with many of the stories about Szell — they often attempt to portray him
as an unthinking authoritarian by citing the story of how he told the cleaning crew what kind of toilet paper to provide the customers. Yeah, another Attilla the Hun, all right.
I think he had the customers in mind. Or the dismissal of a long time player who objected to something he wanted, as if there was nothing more behind the story — quite an impossibility. Szell clearly not only knew his stuff, he also knew his weaknesses, minor though they were. You know conductors are supposed to be authority figures — that’s their job and their position.
