Emil Paur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emil Paur (born 1855 in Czernowitz, Austria, now Ukraine, died 1932 in Mistek, Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic) was an Austrian conductor. He trained in Vienna before working as a conductor in Kassel, Königsberg and Leipzig. He then emigrated to the United States to conduct in Boston, New York and Pittsburgh before returning to Europe to conduct opera in Berlin.
He was considered a serious conductor, favouring the works of Brahms which were at the time considered heavy listening.
