On December 14, 2004 Rafael Kubelik would have been 90 years old. The son of the famous violinist Jan Kubelik ant the Hugarian countess Csaky-Szell, Rafael Kubelik became one of the most important conductors of the 20th century. His conducting is described as warm, human, with an emphasis on melody and a warm orchestral sound, with a dance-like rhythm.
