about
Hans Swarowsky (September 16, 1899 – September 10, 1975) was an Austrian conductor. Swarowsky was born in Budapest, Hungary. He studied the art of conducting under Felix Weingartner and Richard Strauss.[1] His teachers in musical theory included Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern. Herbert von Karajan invited him to take on the permanent position as conductor of the Vienna State Opera. He became a professor of conducting at the Vienna Music Academy. His many conducting students included Claudio Abbado, Iván Fischer, Jesús López-Cobos, Zubin Mehta, Miltiades Caridis, Alexander Alexeev, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Gianluigi Gelmetti and Albert Rosen. Swarowsky's lectures and essays were collected into the publication Wahrung der Gestalt (Keeping Shape), which today serves as an encyclopaedia for performance and conducting. He died in Salzburg, Austria at age 74. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
