Among all the soloists who worked with Cantelli,
Rudolf Firkusny was the most assiduous.
After their first meeting in Brussels (Grieg's Piano Concerto, 1949),
they gave several concerts in USA
(Menotti, Beethoven 3, Brahms 1, Grieg again and of course Dvořák) until 1956.

Thanks Guido... very nice choice here. These were pieces that Cantelli did not conduct often. Nice recording and transfer. Much appreciated. Burt
Grazie anche per questo. Adoro Firkusny.
I like the ASdisc CDs, I have a lot of them (Koussevitzky; Cantelli; Rodzinsky; Walter). Many thanks for your AS-posts! Best wishes, Satyr
Thanks Guido, I have to say I prefer Firkusny's more cautious studio version of this concerto with Szell, but those NBC strings were out-of=this-world in the Roussel!
Another fine studio recording of the Dvorák concerto by Firkusny is the following:
