The conductor Christopher Russell has come across this remarkable price list for artists in Hungary in the 1928 season. We are not sure of the currency, but it might well be US dollars, which traded in 1928 at just under $5 to the pound sterling. The top earners, as you can see, were the composer-pianists Ignacy Jan Paderewski and Sergei Rachmaninoff, both commanding eight times the fee that was grudged to Bela Bartok in his home town. Heifetz and Casals topped the fee list for string players. They earned three times as much per concert as the Berlin Philharmonic conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler. The earning power of the US dollar in 1928 was just under 20 times its present worth. The post The top paid artists of 1928 appeared first on Slippedisc .
