About the conductor Dmitri Mitropoulos

Dmitri Mitropoulos (1896-1960) was born in Athens to a family with strong ecclesiastical connections. He showed very soon that he was a musical prodigy, both in piano technique and still more remarkably in memorizing complex musical scores. He composed early on but Busoni persuaded him to give that up. He was a repetiteur in Berlin under Erich Kleiber, then moved to Athens as a conductor and in 1936 was invited by Koussevitzky to Boston. After a sensational debut, for the rest of his career he was based in the USA becoming conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in 1937, his happiest years. He was then made chief conductor of the New York Philharmonic from 1949 to 1957 where he encountered much criticism for his over enthusiastic inclusion of contemporary scores. At the same time, he started conducting some highly successful productions at the Metropolitan Opera, New York and also in Italy at La Scala. He regularly conducted at the major European Festivals with the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras but his health deteriorated rapidly during the late 1950s and he died conducting Mahler's Symphony No.3 in Milan with the La Scala Orchestra in November 1960.
