From the back cover: The Artist - Hermann Scherchen is acknowledged as one of the world's great conductors and is renowned for the wide range of his repertoire. He has been acclaimed as great an interpreter of Beethoven, Handel and Bach as he has of many modern composers. His Westminster recordings of all nine Beethoven symphonies and the twelve "London" symphonies of Hayden are considered milestones in the history of recorded music.
Hermann Scherchen's early reputation was earned as conductor in Riga, Berlin, Frankfurt, Winterthur and Konigsberg. An outspoken anti-fascist, he left Germany in 1932, and settled in Switerlan. Since the end of World War II he has conducted in all the leading European cities, most recently in Rome, London, Paris and Vienna, and in South America. In addition to his activities as a conductor Scherchen is well known as an author, having written authoritative books on music, including The Nature Of Music and Handbook Of Conducting.
