Just over a month ago, Philippe Jacquard passed away.
In 1988, he wrote a very comprehensive study, Furtwängler in Leipzig, of the conductor's activities as head of the Gewandhaus from 1922 to 1928. Today, we're reissuing it in line with our new graphic charter. For financial reasons, it is only available in French.
The original ‘paper’ study was previously published on the old SWF website, unfortunately without certain appendices and iconography. For this reissue, we had to start from this base, adding new illustrations. As for the list of concerts with the Gewandhaus, it seemed unnecessary to rewrite it, since these concerts are included in the extensive list accessible on this site.
