Victor de Sabata

Victor de Sabata ( born April 10, 1892 in Trieste, † December 11, 1967 in Santa Margherita Ligure ) was an Italian conductor and composer.

He studied in Milan and conducted first in Monte Carlo, where he conducted the first performance of Maurice Ravel's L' Enfant et les Sortilèges on 21 March 1925. From 1927 to 1957 he was chief conductor of La Scala, was at the time but also a guest conductor throughout Europe. Unlike its competitors Arturo Toscanini he also conducted in Nazi Germany, where he learned as a Wagner conductor of the highest respect among others. Today's music lovers is the conductor de Sabata mainly known by its produced by Walter Legge recordings of Tosca and the Messa da Requiem; the composer de Sabata, however, is all but forgotten.

De Sabata was considered by many contemporaries as dirigentisch sober and profound as Toscanini, an opinion which was, inter alia, by Sergiu Celibidache ( of the conductor in the 1930s and 1940s often experienced in Berlin) represented.
