That 1942 Walter is the only Don Giovanini I own. If you are suggesting
that Levine could approach Bruno Walter, I must listen again to Levine.
I remember listening to a broadcast of Levine with Cleveland, doing some
American Music and thinking to myself, "Well there is no reason to ever
listen to him again." I just checked...that broadcast was 30 years
ago...well maybe he has changed since then...
