Samuel Antek
Samuel Antek (died 1958) was a violinist in the NBC Symphony Orchestra under conductor Arturo Toscanini. He joined at the orchestra's inception in 1937 and played with it until its dissolution in 1954.
Antek was also a conductor and served as music director for the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra from 1947 to 1958.
Antek wrote a series of essays about Toscanini describing the famed Italian conductor from the point of view of an orchestral musician. They were collected in a book entitled This Was Toscanini, accompanied by superb photographs of Toscanini by Robert Hupka; it was published posthumously in 1963.
