- A former producer at NBC, he was the author of a highly controversial, and some say notoriously unreliable, book about legendary conductor Arturo Toscanini, who conducted the NBC Symphony Orchestra from 1937 to 1954.
- In addition to his NBC consultant and producer duties, "he was a music critic, a pianist, a novelist, a playwright, a raconteur, a wit, and an urbane and gentle man," according to The New York Times.
