Conductor

Paul Kletzki

About

From 1940 on Paul Kletzki taught at the Conservatory in Lausanne. After the end of the war he succeeded in a brilliant restart as a conductor - with concerts especially in France and Israel. They form important parts of this 10-CD collection, in particular the concert with brothers Adolf and Hermann Busch. Both had formed a trio with pianist Rudolf Serkin.

Adolf Busch (1891-1952) had left Germany in protest, when he was banned from performing with the Jew Serkin. In Dallas, Texas, Kletzki later became chief conductor of the orchestra (1958-61), also in Bern (1965-68), and from 1967 to 70 he was the successor to Ernest Ansermet in Geneva. Kletzki was especially close to the Philharmonic in Liverpool. He died there at the age of 63.
