Walter, Bruno. (1876–1962)

Signed 1938 Letter

Interesting TLS from the great conductor, signed "Bruno Walter." One page, Nov. 24, 1938, to Herr Kapellmeister Theodor Fuchs, Cordoba.



The great conductor recommends a cellist, Ernst Wassing, from the Wiener Staatsoper, noting his "schönen Ton" and that he is "ein sehr guter Musiker." A fine example of the kind of letter of recommendation that could make all the difference to the many Jewish musicians who were fleeing Austria and Germany at this time. Usual fold creases, edges bumped, else fine. (1517)
