Huberman, a violinist, at first envisioned an international center for the arts, but instead focused on developing a critically acclaimed symphony orchestra. Conditions in Europe had become such that the orchestra could serve as a haven for persecuted Jewish musicians. Many immigration certificates became available, as the orchestra could provide employment for the refugees. The new immigrants themselves provided fresh talent and energy for cultural pursuits in the yishuv. While Huberman continued to work on behalf of the orchestra, Arturo Toscanini agreed to become its first conductor. He was quick to help establish the orchestra's reputation. In addition to drawing talented musicians to the orchestra itself, many other chamber orchestras and groups formed throughout the yishuv. In 1948, the orchestra changed its name to (1882–1947), violinist. Bronisław Huberman was born in Częstochowa, Poland and was a child prodigy who began to take violin lessons at the age of six. He appeared in public for the first time a year later, playing at a benefit concert for the poor. Huberman studied violin in Warsaw, with, among others, Isidor Lotto at the Warsaw Conservatory. He began to study with Joseph Joachim in Berlin in 1892, and also took lessons briefly with Hugo Heermann in Frankfurt and Martin Marsick in Paris. As a youth, Huberman combined study with frequent public appearances throughout Germany, Austria, Holland, and Belgium. At his concerts in Vienna in 1896, the audience included Antonin Dvorak, Gustav Mahler, Anton Bruckner, Johann Strauss, and Johannes Brahms. In 1896, he made his debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City. After returning to Europe, he produced his first recordings in 1900. In 1903 and again in 1908, he was invited to play Paganini’s violin in Genoa. In 1912, Huberman published Aus der Werkstatt des Virtuosen (In the Workshop of the Virtuoso), in which he discussed the role of a performer of his caliber. The bloodshed of World War I triggered Huberman’s interest in politics. Convinced that peace could only be achieved through European unification (modeled on the economic and political integration of the United States), he became involved in the Pan-European movement. He toured the United States repeatedly in the 1920s, explaining his political ideas in Mein Weg zu Paneuropa (My Road to Pan-Europa; 1924). In 1929, Huberman visited Palestine for the first time, where he was enthusiastically received. With Hitler’s rise to power, Huberman decided not to return to Germany and rejected an offer of employment by conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler. In September 1933, Huberman published a letter in German, French, and English, explaining his motives in defense of universal European culture and freedom. In 1936, he also published an “Open Letter to German Intellectuals” denouncing Nazism. In the early 1930s, Huberman took on the responsibilty of creating a symphony orchestra in Palestine. To that end, he organized the American Association of Friends of the Palestine Orchestra, with Albert Einstein as its chair, and in 1936 founded the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra in Tel Aviv with refugees from Europe. The orchestra made its debut under Huberman’s leadership. Huberman left for America in 1940. He returned to tour Europe after the war and died at Nant-sur-Corsier in Switzerland. His archives were placed in the Central Music Library in Tel Aviv. Ignaz Neumark (ook Ignace Neumark) (Plock, 27 juli 1888 - Den Haag, 9 februari 1959) was een Pools-Nederlands dirigent. Neumark kreeg zijn opleiding aan de conservatoria van Leipzig en Warschau. Onder zijn leermeesters was Arthur Nikisch de belangrijkste. Na zijn conservatoriumtijd werkte hij als dirigent in Polen en Duitsland. In 1919 werd hij samen met onder meer Johan Halvorsen chef-dirigent van het nieuwe Filharmonisch Orkest van Oslo. Hij vervulde die positie twee jaar. In 1921 kwam hij naar Nederland, waar hij dirigent werd van de zomerconcerten die het Residentie Orkest in het Kurhaus in Scheveningen. Deze functie vervulde hij tot zijn pensionering in 1953. In 1940 leidde hij het Palestijns Orkest, de in 1936 opgerichte voorloper van het Israëlisch Philharmonisch Orkest tijdens een tournee door Egypte, waar het orkest concerten gaf in Caïro en Alexandrië, met oprichter Bronisław Huberman als solist. Na de oorlog keerde hij naar Nederland terug. Naast zijn directies bij het Residentie Orkest, was hij te gast bij talrijke orkesten in binnen en buitenland. In de jaren vijftig maakte hij een aantal grammofoon-opnamen met het Utrechts Symfonie Orkest, onder meer met werk van Schubert en Beethoven.**** Bronisław Huberman (19 December 1882 – 16 June 1947) was a Jewish Polish violinist. He was known for his individualistic interpretations and was praised for his tone color, expressiveness, and flexibility. The Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius violin which bears his name was stolen twice and recovered once during the period in which he owned the instrument. Huberman is also remembered for founding the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (then known as the Palestine Philharmonic) and thus providing refuge from the Third Reich for nearly 1,000 European Jews.[1][2] Contents 1Biography 2Palestine Symphony Orchestra 3Stradivarius theft 4Honours 5Recordings 6Students 7References 8External links 9Further reading Biography[edit] Huberman was born in Częstochowa, Poland. In his youth he was a pupil of Mieczysław Michałowicz and Maurycy Rosen at the Warsaw Conservatory, and of Isidor Lotto in Paris. In 1892 he studied under Joseph Joachim in Berlin. Despite being only ten years old, he dazzled Joachim with performances of Louis Spohr, Henri Vieuxtemps, and the transcription of a Frédéric Chopin nocturne. However, the two did not get along well, and after Huberman's fourteenth birthday he took no more lessons. In 1893 he toured the Netherlands and Belgium as a virtuoso performer. Around this time, the six-year-old Arthur Rubinstein attended one of Huberman's concerts. Rubinstein's parents invited Huberman back to their house and the two boys struck up what would become a lifetime friendship. In 1894 Adelina Patti invited Huberman to participate in her farewell gala in London, which he did, and in the following year he actually eclipsed her in appearances in Vienna. In 1896 he performed the violin concerto of Johannes Brahms in the presence of the composer, who was stunned by the quality of his playing. He married the German actress Elza Galafrés (also described as a singer[3] and ballerina).[4] They had a son, Johannes, but the marriage did not last. She later met the Hungarian composer and pianist Ernő Dohnányi, but neither Huberman nor Dohnányi's then wife would consent to divorce. Elza and Dohnányi nevertheless had a child out of wedlock in 1917, and in 1919, after Huberman had granted her a divorce, she married Dohnányi, who then adopted Huberman's son Johannes.[5][6] In the 1920s and early 1930s, Huberman toured around Europe and North America with the pianist Siegfried Schultze and performed on the most famous stages (Carnegie in New York, Scala in Milan, Musikverein in Vienna, Konzerthaus in Berlin....). Over the course of many years, the duet Huberman-Schultze were regularly invited in private by European Royal Families. Countless recordings of these artists were done during that period at the "Berliner Rundfunk" and were unfortunately destroyed during the Second World War. In 1937, a year before the Anschluss, Huberman left Vienna and took refuge in Switzerland. The following year, his career nearly ended as a result of an airplane accident in Sumatra in which his wrist and two fingers of his left hand were broken. After intensive and painful retraining he was able to resume performing. At the onset of the Second World War, Huberman was touring South Africa and was unable to return to his home in Switzerland until after the war. Shortly thereafter he fell ill from exhaustion and never regained his strength. He died in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland, on 16 June 1947, at age 64. Palestine Symphony Orchestra[edit] In 1929 Huberman first visited Palestine and developed his vision of establishing classical music in the Promised Land. In 1933, during the Nazis' rise to power, Huberman declined invitations from Wilhelm Furtwängler to return to preach a "musical peace", but wrote instead an open letter to German intellectuals inviting them to remember their essential values. In 1936 he founded the Palestine Symphony Orchestra (which upon the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 was renamed the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra). For the orchestra, Huberman recruited leading Jewish musicians from Europe, showing "the prescience to realize that far more than a new job was at stake for these artists" — for "if it hadn't been for Huberman, dozens of musicians and their families — nearly 1000 people in all — would nearly certainly have died if they had stayed in countries including Germany, Austria, Poland and Hungary."[1] He was assisted by violinist Jacob Surowicz.[7] Conductor William Steinberg, then known as Hans Wilhelm Steinberg, trained the orchestra. The first concert, on 26 December 1936, was conducted by Arturo Toscanini; Huberman had invited the Italian maestro when he heard of his refusing to perform in Germany to protest the Nazi takeover.[2] The 2012 documentary film Orchestra of Exiles by writer, director and producer Josh Aronson recreates Huberman's work creating the orchestra through interviews and reenactments.[8] Featuring interviews with Zubin Mehta, Pinchas Zukerman, Joshua Bell, and many other notable musicians, the film details how Huberman rescued nearly 1000 Jewish musicians and their families and created the Palestine Symphony Orchestra. The film also details how famous Jews and leading historical figures, such as Albert Einstein, were vital in creating the orchestra. Stradivarius theft[edit] Before 1936, Huberman's principal instrument for his concerts was a 1713-vintage Stradivarius "Gibson," which was named after one of its early owners, the English violinist George Alfred Gibson. It was stolen twice. In 1919, it was taken from Huberman's Vienna hotel room but recovered by the police within 3 days. The second time was in New York City. On 28 February 1936, while giving a concert at Carnegie Hall, Huberman switched the Stradivarius "Gibson" with his newly acquired Guarnerius violin, leaving the Stradivarius in his dressing room during intermission. It was stolen either by New York City nightclub musician Julian Altman or a friend of his.[9] Altman kept the violin for the next half-century. Huberman's insurance company, Lloyd's of London, paid him US$30,000 for the loss in 1936. Altman went on to become a violinist with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. and performed with the stolen Stradivarius for many years. In 1985, Altman made a deathbed confession to his wife, Marcelle Hall, that he had stolen the violin. Two years later, she returned it to Lloyd's and collected a finder's fee of US$263,000. The instrument underwent a 9-month restoration by J & A Beare Ltd., in London. In 1988, Lloyd's sold it for US$1.2 million to British violinist Norbert Brainin. In October 2001, the American violinist Joshua Bell purchased it for just under US$4,000,000. The instrument, which is now known as the Gibson-Huberman, was the focus of the 2012 documentary The Return of the Violin by the Israeli television director Haim Hecht which featured interviews with musicians such as Joshua Bell, Zubin Mehta, Holocaust-survivor Sigmund Rolat and many other musicians.[10][11] Honours[edit] The town of Częstochowa renamed its orchestra as the Bronislaw Huberman Philharmonic in honor of its native violinist.[12] Recordings[edit] External audio You may hear Bronislaw Huberman performing Ludwig van Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 with George Szell conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 1934 Here on archive.org Huberman made several commercial recordings of large-scale works, among which are: Beethoven: Violin Concerto (w.

Augustus Rischgitz/Getty Images The roll call of great 20th-century violinists includes so many incredible Jewish artists: Jascha Heifetz. David Oistrakh. Mischa Elman. Ida Haendel. Isaac Stern. Yehudi Menuhin. Itzhak Perlman. Among the most extraordinary of that number, however, has got to be the Polish violinist Bronisław Huberman. As a child, he toured Europe as a prodigy, impressing even skeptics like Brahms, for whom at age 14 he played Brahms' violin concerto, a piece written for Huberman's teacher, the great Joseph Joachim. But what made Huberman far more visionary — and what had a far larger impact than his music making — was the political foresight and bravery he displayed during the Nazis' rise to power. As the situation for Jews began to deteriorate steadily in Europe, Huberman used his reputation and prestige toward a bigger goal than his own fame and fortune. He began recruiting the best of the best Jewish orchestral players to regroup in Palestine as a new ensemble, the Palestine Symphony Orchestra, later renamed the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. For this effort, he enlisted the aid of such celebrities as Albert Einstein and Arturo Toscanini, the orchestra's conductor at their first concert on Dec. 26, 1936. First Run Features YouTube Huberman's story is told in an absorbing documentary made by Josh Aronson called Orchestra of Exiles and newly available on DVD. As musician after musician and their descendants testify in Aronson's film, if it hadn't been for Huberman, dozens of musicians and their families — nearly 1000 people in all — would nearly certainly have died if they had stayed in countries including Germany, Austria, Poland and Hungary. As Aronson makes clear, Huberman had the prescience to realize that far more than a new job was at stake for these artists. And along with literally saving lives, Huberman found a way to preserve and perpetuate an enormous legacy of European Jewish musical tradition. MOVIES An 'Orchestra' Lacking Harmony Along the way, Aronson recruits star performers like Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman to impress upon us how important Huberman's accomplishment is. Another is violinist Joshua Bell, who presently owns Huberman's violin, now dubbed the Stradivarius "Gibson ex Huberman." (There's an astonishing tale only half-told here involving a brazen theft from Carnegie Hall and loads of black shoe polish, in how the fiddle got away from Huberman and ultimately made its way — legally — to Bell.) Huberman's story is a terrific if wrenching narrative that deserves to be far better known. Aronson brings a particular ear to his work; his Oscar-nominated documentary from 2000, Sound and Fury, was a compassionate profile of an extended family wrestling with the decision of whether or not to give their deaf children cochlear implants. What I didn't realize when I saw that earlier film just how fundamental sound and music are to Aronson. In his non-filmmaking life, he is a concert pianist and the husband of violinist Maria Bachmann, with whom he runs the Telluride Musicfest. When he turns to this historical story, however, Aronson is a more uneven director; his reliance on corny re-enactment segments is particularly unfortunate. Even so, it's a story begging for wider recognition, which hopefully it will get this month, with the DVD out and a national airing on PBS scheduled for Sunday, April 14th. *** BRONISŁAW HUBERMAN (1882-1947) A Polish violinist who has been nicknamed the ‘Oskar Schindler of musicians,’ Bronisław Huberman helped to save an estimated one thousand lives during the Holocaust through the foundation of the Palestine Symphony Orchestra (now the Israel Philharmonic). Born to a Jewish family in Częstochowa, Poland, Huberman showed musical promise at a young age and began studying the violin with his father at the age of four. He attended the Warsaw Conservatory from the age of seven, shortly thereafter beginning lessons with Joseph Joachim in Berlin. By the time he was twelve he had toured Europe and the United States as a child prodigy. Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria and the King of Hungary, gave the young Huberman the Stradivarius ‘Gibson’ violin after attending his concert in Paris in 1895. The following year, Huberman performed the Brahms violin concerto to an audience that included Gustav Mahler, Anton Bruckner, Johann Strauss and Brahms himself, impressing the composer who congratulated the young prodigy after the concert. Huberman suffered from depression and insomnia throughout his life, possibly a result of the relentless performing schedule that he undertook as a child. He was married to the actress Elsa Galafrés in 1909. They had a son, Johannes, before she left him for the composer Ernő Dohnányi; Huberman met his partner, German nurse Ida Ibbeken, at a Viennese health clinic in 1916. In 1920, he took time away from performing to study social and political sciences at the Sorbonne in Paris. There he joined the Pan-Europa (now the International Paneuropean Union), a political group that advocated for the political, economic and military union of European countries. He met Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein through the organisation. Huberman performed in Palestine in 1929 and 1931. Having previously taken an anti-Zionist stance, he began to formulate the idea of improving the national Palestinian Orchestra, though he reasoned that Jewish musicians would not give up their roles in prominent European orchestras to move to Palestine, as it did not enjoy a prestigious cultural reputation. After 1933 however, Jewish musicians began to lose their places in prominent German orchestras (despite conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler’s efforts to ensure their safety), and Huberman’s idea began to seem like a realistic possibility. Huberman moved to Vienna in 1934 to become director of the Akademie für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, and though he continued to tour Europe and further afield, he refused to perform in Germany, turning down a prestigious invitation from Furtwängler to perform as a soloist in the Berlin Philharmonic’s 1934 opening season. As the situation in Germany become more precarious for Jewish musicians following the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, Huberman put his plans for a Palestinian orchestra into action, approaching wealthy Jews in America and Britain to ask for financial assistance. Jewish community leader (and future first Prime Minister of Israel) David Ben-Gurion agreed to provide permanent residence certificates for seventy Jewish musicians and their families, to be chosen by Huberman through a series of auditions in Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Austria during 1935. The task was not an easy one, and Huberman initially struggled to convince the musicians that they would be better off in Palestine; some chose to stay and work for the Kulturbund. He also had difficulty raising sufficient funds to support the musicians’ travel, wages, and the renovation of a fairground complex in Tel Aviv which would be used as a rehearsal space and concert venue. On a fund-raising concert tour across the US in early 1936, Huberman’s Stradivarius was stolen from his dressing room whilst he was onstage at Carnegie Hall performing on another instrument. The violin had previously been stolen in Vienna – for a few hours before it was found – but this time Huberman would not be so lucky; he was never reunited with his beloved violin. Further complications arose when political unrest in Palestine forced Ben-Gurion to withdraw the offer of permanent residence certificates to members of the orchestra and their families. Nevertheless, Huberman continued his American tour, securing the remaining funds to pay for the orchestra through a benefit dinner hosted by Albert Einstein in New York. Huberman also engaged celebrated Italian conductor and outspoken anti-fascist Arturo Toscanini to conduct the first season of concerts in Palestine. Toscanini elected to perform works by the Jewish composer Felix Mendelssohn, whose music was banned in Germany. Huberman appealed to Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organisation, who agreed to provide the necessary visas for the musicians to emigrate to Palestine. The first concert by the new Palestine Symphony Orchestra took place on the 26 December 1936, and included performances of Carl Maria von Weber’s Oberon Overture, Rossini’s Overture to La Scala di Seta, Brahms’ Second Symphony, Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, and the Nocturne and Scherzo from Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. The concert was broadcast live across the world on the radio. The orchestra performed with Toscanini in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa in December-January 1936-37, and performed for the Allied Forces during the war. The name was changed to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in 1948 when Israel became an independent state, and has since been conducted by Leonard Bernstein, Daniel Barenboim and Zubin Mehta. Huberman became a US citizen in 1941 and moved to Switzerland after the war. He passed away on 16 June 1947. It is estimated that he saved the lives of 1000 Jewish musicians and their families from Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Austria, France, Georgia, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, Croatia and the Ukraine, including the violinist David Grunschlag and the flautist Uri Toeplitz. The Gibson Stradivarius was discovered in 1986 after Julian Altman made a deathbed confession. It is now played by Joshua Bell, who has performed numerous times with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. ebay5666 folder202 פרוגרמות תיק 48 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE HE
