Autorenporträt
David Blum leaves an extraordinary musical legacy as conductor and writer. He studied composition and conducting at the Juilliard School of Music. In his early twenties, he recorded with the English Chamber Orchestra and guest-conducted throughout Europe, America and Israel. His meeting with Pablo Casals at the 1953 Prades Festival was a transformative experience and one which not only informed his music-making ever afterwards, but also led to a close friendship with the legendary musician that was to last nearly two decades. In 1961, David founded The Esterhazy Orchestra in New York, with Casals acting as Honorary President. Dedicated to the music of Haydn, the orchestra gave groundbreaking tours throughout the U.S. and Canada. The acclaimed series of recordings of Haydn symphonies on the Vanguard label permanently preserve the remarkable collaboration between David and his outstanding musicians. In the 1970s, and over the next two decades, David became an esteemed writer on music and musicians, frequently contributing major articles for The New York Times, The New Yorker, the BBC Music Magazine and The Strad. His books, which have been translated into many languages, include: Casals and the Art of Interpretation, Paul Tortelier, The Art of Quartet Playing, and Quintet. As a writer, he revealed the inner working approaches of some of the greatest performers of our time. Although he was a prolific writer, he could only ever write about those artists with whom he felt a passionate empathy, and whose genius became woven into the fabric of his own life.
