Conductor
George SzellAbout
He also studied piano in Prague with J.B. Foerster. Already as a child he played the piano and composed with passion. Already at the age of 17, he led the Berliner Philharmoniker with a programme that included one of his own compositions.
As a conductor he held important positions from the first conductor of the Berlin State Opera to the General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper and the Philharmonie in Prague. He also conducted the Scottish Orchestra in Glasgow while maintaining a firm collaboration with the Residentie Orkest in The Hague.
He finally conducted the Metropolitan Opera during the Second World War. In 1946, after Szell finally became an American citizen, he became Music Director of the Cleveland Orchestra. He conducted the Cleveland Orchestra for over 20 years. During the last two years of his life, he also worked as a music consultant and guest conductor of the New York Philharmonic.
This box includes recordings with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Concertgebouworkest Amsterdam.
