Beschreibung: | Master and use copy. Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references and index From 1922 until his death in 1954, Wilhelm Furtwangler was the foremost cultural music figure of the German-speaking world, conductor of both the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras. But a cloud still hangs over his reputation, despite his undeniable brilliance as a musician, because of a fatal and tragic decision. Wilhelm Furtwangler remained in Germany when thousands of intellectuals and artists fled after the Nazis seized power in 1933. His decision to stay behind earned him lasting condemnation as a Nazi collaborator--"The Devil's Music Master." Decades after his death, Furtwangler remains for many not only the greatest but also the most controversial musical personality of our time. In The Devil's Music Master, Sam H. Shirakawa forges the first full-length and comprehensive biography of Furtwangler. He surveys Furtwangler's formative years as a difficult but brilliant prodigy, his rise to pre-eminence as Germany's leading conductor, and his development as a musician, composer, and thinker. Shirakawa also reviews the rich recorded legacy Furtwangler documented throughout his forty-year career--such as the legendary Tristan with Kirsten Flagstad and the famous performances of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in 1942 and 1951. Equally important, Shirakawa goes backstage and behind the lines to explore how the Nazis seized control of the arts and how Furtwangler single-handedly tried to prevent such evil characters as Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and Luftwaffe Chief Hermann Goring from annihilating Germany's musical life. He shows how Furtwangler, far from being a toady to the Nazis, stood up openly against Hitler and Himmler--at enormous personal risk--to salvage the musical traditions of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Shirakawa also presents moving and overwhelming evidence of Furtwangler's astonishing efforts to save the lives of Jews and other persecuted individuals trapped in Nazi Germany--only to be proscribed at the end of the war and nearly framed as a war criminal. But there was more to Furtwangler than his politics, or even his music, and we come to know this extraordinary man as a reluctant composer, a prolific essayist and diary keeper, a loyal friend, a formidable enemy when crossed, and an incorrigible philanderer. Numerous musical luminaries share their memories of Furtwangler to round out this vivid portrait. Based on dozens of interviews and research in numerous documents, letters, and diaries, many of them previously unpublished, The Devil's Music Master is an in-depth look at the life and times of a unique personality whose fatal flaw lay in his uncompromising belief that music and art must be kept apart from politics, a conviction that transformed him into a tragic figure 1 - With Music Empowered - 3 -- - 2 - Mannheim - 22 -- - 3 - Berlin - 43 -- - 4 - America - 64 -- - 5 - Successes and Conquests - 91 -- - 6 - Decisions - 110 -- - 7 - Weimar and the Third Reich - 129 -- - 8 - Nazimania - 145 -- - 9 - Prometheus Agonistes - 158 -- - 10 - Staatsrat - 167 -- - 11 - The Hindemith Scandal - 179 -- - 12 - Another Scandal - 195 -- - 13 - A Meeting of Minds - 212 -- - 14 - Devilish Duties--I - 225 -- - 15 - Devilish Duties--II - 247 -- - 16 - The Devil's Birthday - 271 -- - 17 - Trial by Patience - 294 -- - 18 - Day of Reckoning - 309 -- - 19 - Trial by Endurance - 338 -- - 20 - Autumn Fires - 370 -- - 21 - The Tristan Recording - 387 -- - 22 - The Studio Recordings - 407 -- - 23 - The Live Recordings I: The War Recordings - 431 -- - 24 - The Live Recordings II: Ring Cycles and Cyclical Issues - 442 -- - 25 - Eroica - 474 -- - 26 - Coda: A Dominant Ninth - 481 |

Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references and index From 1922 until his death in 1954, Wilhelm Furtwangler was the foremost cultural music figure of the German-speaking world, conductor of both the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras. But a cloud still hangs over his reputation, despite his undeniable brilliance as a musician, because of a fatal and tragic decision. Wilhelm Furtwangler remained in Germany when thousands of intellectuals and artists fled after the Nazis seized power in 1933. His decision to stay behind earned him lasting condemnation as a Nazi collaborator--"The Devil's Music Master." Decades after his death, Furtwangler remains for many not only the greatest but also the most controversial musical personality of our time. In The Devil's Music Master, Sam H. Shirakawa forges the first full-length and comprehensive biography of Furtwangler. He surveys Furtwangler's formative years as a difficult but brilliant prodigy, his rise to pre-eminence as Germany's leading conductor, and his development as a musician, composer, and thinker. Shirakawa also reviews the rich recorded legacy Furtwangler documented throughout his forty-year career--such as the legendary Tristan with Kirsten Flagstad and the famous performances of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in 1942 and 1951. Equally important, Shirakawa goes backstage and behind the lines to explore how the Nazis seized control of the arts and how Furtwangler single-handedly tried to prevent such evil characters as Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and Luftwaffe Chief Hermann Goring from annihilating Germany's musical life. He shows how Furtwangler, far from being a toady to the Nazis, stood up openly against Hitler and Himmler--at enormous personal risk--to salvage the musical traditions of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Shirakawa also presents moving and overwhelming evidence of Furtwangler's astonishing efforts to save the lives of Jews and other persecuted individuals trapped in Nazi Germany--only to be proscribed at the end of the war and nearly framed as a war criminal. But there was more to Furtwangler than his politics, or even his music, and we come to know this extraordinary man as a reluctant composer, a prolific essayist and diary keeper, a loyal friend, a formidable enemy when crossed, and an incorrigible philanderer. Numerous musical luminaries share their memories of Furtwangler to round out this vivid portrait. Based on dozens of interviews and research in numerous documents, letters, and diaries, many of them previously unpublished, The Devil's Music Master is an in-depth look at the life and times of a unique personality whose fatal flaw lay in his uncompromising belief that music and art must be kept apart from politics, a conviction that transformed him into a tragic figure 1 - With Music Empowered - 3 -- - 2 - Mannheim - 22 -- - 3 - Berlin - 43 -- - 4 - America - 64 -- - 5 - Successes and Conquests - 91 -- - 6 - Decisions - 110 -- - 7 - Weimar and the Third Reich - 129 -- - 8 - Nazimania - 145 -- - 9 - Prometheus Agonistes - 158 -- - 10 - Staatsrat - 167 -- - 11 - The Hindemith Scandal - 179 -- - 12 - Another Scandal - 195 -- - 13 - A Meeting of Minds - 212 -- - 14 - Devilish Duties--I - 225 -- - 15 - Devilish Duties--II - 247 -- - 16 - The Devil's Birthday - 271 -- - 17 - Trial by Patience - 294 -- - 18 - Day of Reckoning - 309 -- - 19 - Trial by Endurance - 338 -- - 20 - Autumn Fires - 370 -- - 21 - The Tristan Recording - 387 -- - 22 - The Studio Recordings - 407 -- - 23 - The Live Recordings I: The War Recordings - 431 -- - 24 - The Live Recordings II: Ring Cycles and Cyclical Issues - 442 -- - 25 - Eroica - 474 -- - 26 - Coda: A Dominant Ninth - 481 Furtwängler, Wilhelm / 1886-1954 Furtwängler, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Wilhelm / 1886-1954 fast Furtwängler, Wilhelm swd Furtwängler, Wilhelm 1886-1954 Furtwängler, Wilhelm 1886-1954 (DE-588)118536931 gnd rswk-swf Chefs d'orchestre / Allemagne / Biographies BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Composers & Musicians bisacsh MUSIC / Genres & Styles / Classical bisacsh MUSIC / Printed Music / Choral bisacsh Conductors (Music) fast Dirigenten gtt Nationaal-socialisme gtt Biographie swd Nationalsozialismus Conductors (Music) Germany Biography Deutschland (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Furtwängler, Wilhelm 1886-1954 (DE-588)118536931 p 1\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=440836 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
