Carl Schuricht
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Adolph Schuricht (July 3, 1880 – January 7, 1967) was a German conductor.
Schuricht was born in Danzig (Gdańsk), German Empire. His career was not that of a star but he was loved both by the orchestra members and audience. He was the main conductor when the Vienna Philharmonic made their first US tour in 1956. Schuricht studied at the Berliner Stern'sches Konservatorium, under Ernst Rudorff and Engelbert Humperdinck. He composed a few pieces, mainly for piano. He later studied under Max Reger in Leipzig. In 1911, he became music director at Wiesbaden (1923-1944), where he conducted performances Mahler's Symphonies, although they were not as popular at the time as they are now.[1][2] Schuricht worked with the Dresden Philharmonic in 1943 and 1944, until he left for Zürich, Switzerland where he married Maria Martha Banz and worked with l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
He died at the age of 86 in his home at Vevey, Switzerland.
