Guido Cantelli (April 27, 1920 - November 24, 1956) was a promising Italian orchestral conductor whose career was tragically cut short by his death at the age of 36 in an airplane crash in Paris, France. In the course of his brief career, he had conducted not only in many of the most famous houses of Europe but also in the United States and South Africa as well.
Arturo Toscanini was particularly impressed by him, and he wrote in a note to Cantelli's wife Iris in 1950, after four concerts of Cantelli as guest conductor with the NBC Symphony Orchestra:
"I am happy and moved to inform you of Guido's great success and that I introduced him to my orchestra, which loves him as I do. This is the first time in my long career that I have met a young man so gifted. He will go far, very far."
Toscanini, who died in 1957, was never told of Cantelli's death.
Cantelli left a small but valuable legacy of recordings
"There must be many Gramophone readers who cut their musical teeth on these recordings, and whose abilities to re-assess first loves will be challenged afresh by EMI's skilful transfers…the Mozart items are excellent, with a trim, nicely buoyed A Musical Joke (the multiple raspberry at the end of the Presto has genuine comic-strip impact) and a finely proportioned Symphony No. 29. Schubert's Unfinished is forward-moving and beautifully drawn, while Franck's D minor (recorded, believe it or not, within a week of Toscanini's final broadcast) has an imperious gait that trades Franco-Belgian exuberance for Teutonic weight. It is imposing but also rather earthbound. The recordings themselves are admirable, while well-balanced stereophony confirms Cantelli's Toscanini-style orchestral positioning, with antiphonally placed violins." – Gramophone (11/1994)
