life and work

Weissmann was born on January 23, 1893 in Langen / Hessen. In the registry office, his first name is Samuel, which he kept - in the form Semy or Semmy - until 1916. After that he preferred the first name Friedrich or Frieder in combination with Samuel , which is soon abbreviated to S. before disappearing entirely. In the 1920s, Peter was added as a third first name . As an artist name or are also ping-pong and Marco Ibanez handed.

Weissmann grew up in Frankfurt am Main, where his father Ignatz Isidor Weissmann (1863–1939) was Chasan 's main synagogue from 1894 to 1937 . After graduating from the Goethe-Gymnasium , he studied law for one semester in Heidelberg in 1911, then until 1914 the subjects of philosophy, art and music history at Munich University. In Heidelberg he received composition lessons from Philipp Wolfrum , in Munich from Walter Braunfels . When the First World War broke out, he took the first step in a career as a conductor and became a répétiteur under Ludwig Rottenberg at the Frankfurt Opera (1914/16). In 1916/17 he was hired as the second conductor at the Stettin City Theater. From 1917 to 1921 he worked as a freelance concert bandmaster and accompanist in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich. He also appeared as a composer in all three cities. In 1920 he received his doctorate in philosophy at the Philosophical Faculty of Munich University with a dissertation on the composer Georg Abraham Schneider (1770–1839). This was followed in 1921 as a répétiteur and conductor at the Berlin State Opera , where he worked under Max von Schillings and Erich Kleiber until 1924 . At the same time, Weissmann began working closely for many years with the Berlin record company Carl Lindström AG, for whose brands Parlophon and Odeon he was the musical director of around 2,000 recordings until 1933. In 1924 he became the first conductor at the Münster Opera House (1924/25), then in the same position at the Königsberg Opera House in Prussia . (1926/27). From 1926 to 1932 he was a permanent guest conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic . From 1930 onwards there was increased collaboration with radio orchestras in Stuttgart and Hamburg. In 1931 he became conductor, alongside Ernst Kunwald, of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, the former Blüthner Orchestra , which had to merge with the Berlin Philharmonic in autumn 1932 . With the Berliner Philharmoniker he was only able to conduct four concerts and record one record (overture to Richard Wagner's opera Rienzi ) until January 1933 .

In 1929 he married his long-time fiancée, the German soprano Meta Seinemeyer , who was seriously ill with leukemia and died a few hours after the wedding. Weissmann accompanied the singer on all her parlophone recordings and numerous concerts in Dresden and Berlin.

By the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933 and Frieder Weissmann was threatened as an artist of Jewish descent directly in its existence. He left Germany in June 1933 and went to the Netherlands, where he gave concerts with the Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam and the orchestra of the AVRO broadcasting company Hilversum . From 1934 to 1937 he spent six months - alternating with Holland - in Argentina, where he conducted concerts at Radio Splendid and at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires . Weissmann, who had obtained Argentine citizenship in 1935, married his second wife Rosita Chevallier-Boutell in Buenos Aires in 1937. After his US debut in late 1937 with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra , he moved his main residence to New York in 1938, where he caused a sensation in the summer of 1939 with a series of open-air concerts with the New York Philharmonic at Lewisohn Stadium . He started recording records with Columbia Records (with Risë Stevens , among others ), and from 1945 with RCA Victor - a relationship that lasted until 1950. From 1939 to 1947 Weissmann, who became an American citizen in 1944, directed the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and from 1942 to 1958 the Philharmonic Orchestra of Scranton, Pennsylvania . As the successor to Artur Rodziński , he took over the management of the Orquesta Filarmónica de La Habana in Havana, Cuba from 1950 to 1953 . Parallel to his permanent engagements, Weissmann developed a lively activity as a guest conductor in the USA, Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver), Mexico and the Netherlands from 1945. After 1954 he concentrated on Europe and was celebrated there especially in Italy, e.g. B. for a cycle of Mahler symphonies, which he began in the late 1950s and concluded in March 1974 in Florence with the performance of Mahler's Second Symphony.

Weissmann was a central figure in the German record industry between 1921 and 1933. He was Lindström's reliable house conductor, who usually recorded the orchestra of the Berlin State Opera, the Staatskapelle Berlin , or an ad hoc ensemble consisting of members of this orchestra conducted. Weissmann not only worked on numerous vocal and opera recordings with the leading vocal soloists of the 1920s such as Gitta Alpár , Vera Schwarz and Richard Tauber , but also directed many recordings of purely orchestral music, both serious and cheerful. His repertoire was extremely diverse and included operettas and light classical music as well as the major works of symphonic literature. Numerous first recordings were made under his direction, e. B. the first complete recording of all Beethoven symphonies in 1924/25. Outstanding are his electrical recordings of Respighi's Römische Brunnen and Tchaikovsky's Overture to the year 1812 . He accompanied the cellist Emanuel Feuermann with Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei and the pianists Moriz Rosenthal and Karol Szreter on their recordings of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4. Weissmann's American recordings include opera recordings with numerous stars of the Metropolitan Opera such as the sopranos Zinka Milanov , Licia Albanese , Helen Traubel , the tenor Jan Peerce and the baritone Leonard Warren , as well as a concerto for viola by Henri Casadesus , which was originally attributed to Handel , with William Primrose and what was probably the first recording of Max Bruch's Scottish Fantasy Es- Major for violin and orchestra op. 46 with the violinist Jascha Heifetz as soloist.

Frieder Weissmann died on January 4, 1984 in Amsterdam and was buried two days later at the Zorgvlied cemetery at the side of the Dutch painter Carel Willink , the husband of Weissmann's friend Sylvia Willink , who had died a few months earlier .
