Beethoven und Brahms
0 - Default Title
Description
The great orchestral works, especially of the 19th century, found their ideal conductor in Eugen Jochum (1902 - 1987). His recordings of the works of Brahms, Beethoven and Bruckner earned him worldwide fame. Growing up in a music-loving Bavarian family - his brothers Otto and Georg Ludwig were composers and conductors as well -, he got the first lessons on piano and organ from his father as a four-year-old. Jochum studied orchestral conducting and composition at the Munich Academy of Music, acquired the necessary practice as musical director in Kiel and Mannheim, in order to successfully debut as a conductor with Bruckner's 7th Symphony in Munich in 1927. In Duisburg he became General Music Director (1930/32), then Music Director of the Berlin Radio and musical director of the Opera, before he took over as director of the Philharmonic State Orchestra in Hamburg, when Karl Böhm moved to Dresden. He retained this position from 1934 to 49 and gave it up when the Bavarian Radio won him over as the leader of its newly formed symphony orchestra. Jochum was able to shape this orchestra according to his own ideas and went on to successfully present it abroad. In addition to his recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic, the productions with this - "his" orchestra are at the center of this collection.
