Autographed 3 bar musical quotation by the eminent Dutch conductor of the second movement theme from Beethoven’s Pastorale Symphony. Van Beinum succeeded Mengelberg at the Concertgebouw in 1945 until his early death in 1959, while conducting. He also followed Alfred Wallenstein in 1956 at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. A prolific recorder, his readings of the works of the Romantic composers are breath taking in many cases and in some revelatory. Interestingly, unlike his predecessor in Amsterdam, he was able to get first class playing from his musicians through relationships and his musical skill, rather than the jackboot. He followed his predecessor in his love for the works of Gustav Mahler, though only recorded two of his works, the 4th and the Song of the Earth. Perhaps had he lived there would have been more. |
