Autographed 4” x 6” photograph of the conductor-composer at work by Hans-Dieter Grohé, which bears his blindstamp on the verso. We also offer with a 2” x 4” holographed musical quotation by Heger of the vorspiel to “Parsifal” and a hand signed 4” x 6” printed card acknowledging 90th birthday wishes in 1976. Heger, who was born in Alsace-Lorraine studied composition and conducting with Franz Stockhausen, Lothar Meptner and Max von Schillings. He made his initial appearances in Strassburg and Ulm (1908-1909). He arrived in Barmen with his first oper house conducting post in 1909; which were quickly followed by The Vienna Volksoper (1911) and Nuremburg, where he was made Generalmusikdirektor for the town and led both opera and symphonic works. However, his longest associations were with the Berlin Staatsoper, the Vienna Staatsoper and the Bayrisches Staatsoper in Munich. As an aside and related, Heger led many performances of “Parsifal” though he is chiefly remembered for his operetta recordings on the EMI label. (Including 6 at the Vienna Staatsoper between 1968 and 1971.) Heger also was a composer of note, writing 5 operas, a violin concerto a symphony in d minor, as well a choral and chamber works. A most interesting assemblage! |
