Contents Two cities, two orchestras: an introduction -- "Innovation" versus "tradition": the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics at the end of the long nineteenth century -- Differing responses to increased state influence: the orchestras during the Republics (1918-1933) -- Continuous radicalization under Austrofascism and National Socialism -- Dependence and protection under National Socialism -- The orchestras' multifaceted media presence -- Repertoire and politicization: National Socialism and the politics of programming -- Summary and conclusion: "A rivalry like that between the Berliners and the Viennese will always exist".
Summary "This is a groundbreaking study of the prestigious Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics during the Third Reich. Making extensive use of archival material, including some discussed here for the first time, Fritz Trümpi offers new insight into the orchestras' place in the larger political constellation."--Publisher's description.
