Conductor
Joseph KeilberthAbout
With the Ring cycle he conducted Wieland Wagner’s most extensive directing project from 1952 to 1956, plus Lohengrin in 1953, and The Flying Dutchman in 1955, both staged by Wolfgang Wagner. In 1954 and 1955 Tannhäuser was added (Wieland Wagner). Keilberth, as well as Knappertsbusch, made sure Bayreuth was musically unchallenged in those early years. Joseph Keilberth (1908-1968) came to the German Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague via his work at the Opera of his hometown Karlsruhe. After being deported from Prague he worked in Dresden, Berlin and Hamburg, before becoming general music director of the Munich Nationaltheater in 1959, where on 20 July 1968, a few minutes into the second act of Tristan und Isolde, he broke down and died at the conductor's desk.
Recorded live at the Festpielhaus, Bayreuth, 1953
