From the NY Times:
John Corigliano, concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic from 1943 to 1966, died yesterday in Norwalk (Conn.) Hospital after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage at his 74th birthday party on Thursday at his summer home, 32 Valley Road, Westport, Conn.
Mr. Corigliano had been concertmaster of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra since his retirement from the Philharmonic at the mandatory age of 65.
He was the first violinist born and bred in this country to serve as concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic‐Symphony Orchestra, as it was known then. Growing up near Washington Square, he took to the mandolin so quickly that his parents soon shifted him to the violin.
Debut in 1919
Studying here under Alois Trnka and Leopold Auer, Mr. Corigliano made his debut in 1919 and was soloist with the Philharmonic two years later. Some years later, Arturo Toscanini, then conductor of the orchestra, was impressed by his radio performance in a concert of works by Fritz Kreisler. He became assistant concertmaster under Toscanini in 1935.
It was a broadcast performance of the Dvorak Concerto, conducted by Fritz Reiner, that won him promotion to concertmaster in 1943. Artur Rodzinski, then conductor of the Philharmonic, took note of his performance and moved him up to the first chair. From that time on, Mr. Corigliano appeared almost annually with the Philharmonic as a soloist in his own right, and more frequently in summer concerts at Lewisohn Stadium at City College. He also soloed with nearby orchestras and for a decade formed a sonata team with the pianist Heida Hermanns. He also had served as “music member” of the board of directors of the Philharmonic‐Symphony Orchestra Society.
Mr. Corigliano's poise as floor leader of the orchestra showed in 1953 when Bruno Walter was conducting the Brahms Violin Concerto with Erica Morini as soloist. Shortly before the cadenza in the first movement, the A string of her violin snapped. Mr. Corigliano, quickly handed her his own instrument so that she lost only a note or two. Then, aided by another member, he was able to replace the string and return the instrument just in time to attack the cadenza.
When Leonard Bernstein took the Philharmonic on tour abroad in 1959, one of the show pieces was the Beethoven Triple Concerto with the conductor at the piano, Mr. Corigliano as violin soloist and Laszlo Varga, first cellist, rounding out the team. When they performed it at their opening concert in Carnegie Hall that fall, Howard Taubman, a New York Times music critic, called it a “gracefully, neatly integrated reading.”
