Pro Reviews: Bruno Walter
...BRUNO WALTER: A WORLD ELSEWHERE, less a biography and more an exhaustive chronicling of his career, probably should be read only by scholars. The authors combed through 20,000 reviews and 7,000 letters (which are quoted too extensively and cataloged in 49 pages of notes) and list what feels like every program he ever conducted. They gather information and tell us about Walter, but it would take not only an excellent researcher but a better writer to make us truly feel him....One benefit, however, of Ryding and Pechefsky's exhaustive research is to see the long list of modern works that Walter conducted....
Publisher Notes: Bruno Walter
- 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.
