Having collaborated with Max Reinhardt in Europe as early as 1910, Bruno Walter found Reinhardt's treatment of background music "not very appealing," and this use of background music as only background music was a source of friction between them. Reinhardt's son said of Walter's participation in this 1943 event that the family would have preferred Toscanini to Walter, "with whom [Reinhardt] had been at odds more than once."
