    		Eugene Ormandy - Jenö Blau

    Bruno Walter - Bruno Schlesinger

    "Szigeti's birth name was Joseph Singer. His family was of Jewish origin, and like lots of Jewish people in Hungary (come to think of it, like practically every non-Magyar in Hungary) his family changed their name. They ended up Szigeti, after the village that their family was from, Máramoros-Sziget."
