Correspondence with Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, 1941-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155863958

1 item from Mitropoulos to Franz Werfel apparently responds to an appeal from Werfel on behalf of a writer or other artist in need of support. The remaining items from Mitropoulos are addressed to Alma Mahler; the correspondence documents a friendship that deepened over time, with Alma attending rehearsals and performances conducted by Mitropoulos. Alma's draft letter to Eble at the Bruckner Society recommends Mitropoulos to receive the Mahler-Bruckner Medal, praising his interpretations of Gustav Mahler's work. Included are 2 programs for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Carnegie Hall (1 for performances under the direction of Mitropoulos and 1 for performances in memory of him after his death, with Leonard Bernstein conducting); and a clipping of an article by Harriett Johnson about Mitropoulos's conducting of Gustav Mahler's third symphony.
