...to a 'cello player something along the lines of: "Madam, you have between your legs an instrument created by God and all you can do is sit and scratch it?"

Allegedly, Sir Thomas Beecham. I heard him deny it once

Iain T - I think you find that our friend Sun M is being a bit harsh and over the top with everyone this morning. This is the 4th question in a row I've looked at, that he has been rude and aggressive in response to. Maybe he has PMT?
To answer the question - I think it was Thomas Beecham.
*Paul B - cool link! He didn't like brass players much either!

The conductor was forced to bellow
At a musician a woman, not fellow
It was right that he should
Because from where he stood
He could see she'd forgotten her cello.

He's a misogynist because he criticised a woman's cello playing ability?
I think that's going a tad overboard...
