JULIUS BÜRGER - RYAN HUGH ROSS KARTONIERT (TB)

Viennese composer Julius Bürger (also named Burger (1897-1995)) intersected with many important
figures of 20th century western classical music. Despite success in some of the world's leading
opera and broadcasting houses  Burger's true path as a composer was forever altered by the
National Socialism.  Burger studied with Franz Schreker in Vienna and Berlin. On Bruno Walter's
recommendation  Burger later joined Artur Bodanzky as assistant at the Metropolitan Opera in
New York. In 1929 he became Otto Klemperer's assistant at Berlin's Kroll Opera  returning to
Vienna after Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in 1933. En route to Vienna from London in 1938
Burger and his wife foresaw what lay in store for Austria and detrained in Paris  abandoning
their luggage. In 1939 Burger relocated to America and in 1949 he rejoined the staff at the
Metropolitan Opera  starting a close working friendship with Dimitri Mitropoulos. His mother
and four of his brothers were murdered in the Holocaust. A fifth brother's fate is still
unknown.
