Carl Pohlig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl (Karl) Pohlig was a German conductor. In 1901 in Stuttgart he became the first conductor to perform the full complete unexpurgated version of Bruckner's Sixth Symphony (the symphony had been performed before in excerpts and in a cut version by Gustav Mahler). After this he became conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra from 1907 to 1912. He invited Sergei Rachmaninoff to make his U.S. debut with the orchestra in 1909. He resigned in disgrace after being caught in an extra-marital affair with his Swedish secretary, and was replaced by Leopold Stokowski.
