William Steinberg (Conductor)
Born: 1st August 1899, Cologne, Germany
Died: 16th May 1978, New York, New York, USA
Nationality: German
Born in Cologne, William (Hans Wilhelm) Steinberg showed an early talent for conducting and became an assistant to the greta Otto Klemperer in his mid-twenties, ultimately succeeding him at the Cologne Opera - the first of several operatic posts.
Dismissed from the Frankfurt Opera by the National Socialist authorities in 1933 - the brownshirts reportedly barged into a rehearsal in progress and physically removed him - he moved to British Palestine and worked with the forerunner of today's Israel Philharmonic. There he met, and made a great impression on, Arturo Toscanini, but his stay in Palestine was only brief, as he emigrated to the United States in 1938.
