内容説明
Bruno Walter (1876-1962)， one of the twentieth century’s greatest conductors， lived a fascinating life in difficult times. This engrossing book is the first full-length biography of Walter in English. Born in Berlin， Walter began his long and eventful career in provincial theaters; his successes there led to positions at the premier opera houses of Berlin and Vienna. Then for a decade he served as Bavarian music director， conducting opera in three theaters and giving symphonic concerts. Erik Ryding and Rebecca Pechefsky tell of Walter’s close friendship with Gustav Mahler， his relations with Thomas Mann and his family， and his romantic involvement with the soprano Delia Reinhardt. Ousted from Germany by the Nazi Party in 1933， he returned to Vienna， where he was artistic director of the State Opera until the Nazis again forced him out. He eventually emigrated to the United States， where he led the New York Philharmonic and other orchestras， developed a deep interest in the writings of Rudolf Steiner， and made touchstone recordings with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. Erik Ryding is managing editor of publications at Carnegie Hall. Rebecca Pechefsky is a freelance harpsichordist.
Book Description
Bruno Walter， one of the greatest conductors in the twentieth century， lived a fascinating life in difficult times. This engrossing book is the first full-length biography of Walter to appear in English. Erik Ryding and Rebecca Pechefsky describe Walter’s early years in Germany， where his successes in provincial theaters led to positions at the Berlin State Opera and the Vienna State Opera. They then tell of his decade-long term as Bavarian music director and his romantic involvement with the soprano Delia Reinhardt; his other positions in the musical community until he was ousted from Germany when the Nazi Party came to power in 1933; and his return to Vienna， where he was artistic director of the Opera House until he was again forced out by the Nazis. Finally they trace his career in the United States， where he led the New York Philharmonic and other orchestras and in his last years made numerous recordings with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra， an ensemble created especially for him. Ryding and Pechefsky are the first biographers to make extensive use of the thousands of unpublished letters in the Bruno Walter Papers， now in the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. In addition to interviewing more than sixty people who knew Walter， they examined countless reviews to assess the popular and critical impact he had on his times. Authoritative and even-handed， this biography sheds new light on Walter， one of the great formative influences in musical interpretation.
