There are several extraordinary anecdotes of Victor de Sabata's musical abilities.

After de Sabata was shown the score for the first time of Elgar's Enigma Variations, the next day he conducted a rehearsal of the work from memory and pointed out several errors in the orchestral parts which no-one, including Elgar himself, had noticed previously.
Busoni was also one of the early conductors of this work.
