Steinberg succeeded quickly and for\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ea while held two positions as chief conductor. He left a trail of exquisitely led orchestras from New York via Buffalo and San Francisco to London during his brilliant career. The main orchestra of his career was and remained the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, which he headed from 1952 to 1976 and which he molded into one of the most renowned ensembles in the USA. The recordings collected in this box-set present Steinberg as both a powerful and sensitive musician.
