Summary:

"SAN MATEO, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Open-source pioneer Alfresco Software announced today that the New York Philharmonic, in conjunction with Alfresco partner Technology Services Group (TSG), has now digitized materials from former Music Director Arturo Toscanini’s era, and made them publicly available, thanks to Alfresco Content Services — just in time for celebrations marking the legendary musician’s 150th birthday. The materials being released cover the Toscanini era (1925–1945) and encompass 1,300 folders of documents totaling approximately 70,000 pages of remarkable history, plus a dozen marked scores, and 200 related parts.

Now, anyone anywhere in the world is just a virtual click away from an unprecedented amount of archival material on Toscanini – 'the Maestro.' For example, researchers wanting to know more about the 1930 tour of Europe, which established the Philharmonic as an elite international ensemble, will be able to access reviews, original scores with handwritten notes, logistical details, posters, and even clips of home movies featuring Toscanini that were shot on that tour."
