Walfredo Toscanini, the grandson, has died aged 82, according to Musical America.

    You really are despicable, Norman Lebrecht. Your lifelong hatred of Maestro Toscanini is already widely known within the musical establishment, despite his incomparable achievements during his 70 year career. Now, you are turning on his grandson, and know full well that toscaninionline.com is, and continues o be, a team effort with Mortimer Frank, Harvey Sachs, and Alan Steckler.

    No, Mr Lebrecht, this is not the last you will hear of Arturo Toscanini. Not by a long way.

    Show some respect.
