Unfortunately, the new competition resulted in a 3-way tie; once again construction of the new auditorium was postponed. In this period, the young Herbert von Karajan made his debut during the Accademia season, along with Arthur Rubinstein, Walter Gieseking and Carlo Maria Giulini. The chamber season continued in the Sala Accademica and the summer season at the Basilica di Massenzio. At the close of the 1957-58 season, the total number of concerts given since the Accademia's founding came to 4,216.
