Chicago Symphony Orchestra, George Szell, Conductor. Live Telecast, December 17, 1961.
George Szell: (1989-1970) was one of the most celebrated conductors of his time, noted for the precision he demanded of his orchestral players and the elegance of his interpretations. Born in Budapest, but raised in Vienna, Szell studied piano and composition from an early age. He performed a Mozart piano concerto with the Vienna Symphony at age 10 in a program that also included one of his own compositions.
His early conducting career included many distinguished assignments, most notably that of Principal Conductor of the Berlin State Opera (1924-1929). He made his first U.S. appearance as guest conductor of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in 1930 and later settled here, at the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939. From 1942 to 1946, Szell led performances at the Metropolitan Opera, in addition to performances with most of the major U.S. orchestras. The high point of his career was his 24-year tenure as conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, which he raised to world-class rank.
The televised concert of December 17, 1961, marked the fifth of six seasons in which Szell appeared as guest conductor with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. His first appearance with the Orchestra had taken place in 1946; his last would be in 1968. In addition, Szell took part in six seasons of the Ravinia Festival, from 1941 to 1952. This video is the second volume in VAl's series of Chicago Symphony Orchestra Historic Telecasts, and the first commercial video release of Szell conducting a complete concert.
