Musicologist Dorothy Lamb Crawford looks closely at the lives, creative work, and influence of sixteen performers, fourteen composers, and one opera stage director, who joined this immense migration beginning in the 1930's. Some in this group were famous when they fled Europe, others would gain recognition in the young musical culture of Los Angeles, and still others struggled to establish themselves in an environment often resistant to musical innovation. Emphasizing individual voices, Crawford presents short portraits of Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, and the other musicians while also considering their influence as a group-in the film industry, in music institutions in and around Los Angeles, and as teachers who trained the next generation. The book reveals a uniquely vibrant era when Southern California became a hub of unprecedented musical talent.MusiciansCalifornia, SouthernJewish refugeesCalifornia, SouthernJews, GermanCalifornia, SouthernExilesUnited StatesCalifornia, SouthernEmigration and immigrationElectronic books.MusiciansJewish refugeesJews, GermanExiles780.9794/9Crawford Dorothy L185604MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457094103321A windfall of musicians2466370UNINA
