LEVI, HERMANN (1839-1900)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 511 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LEVI, HERMANN (1839-1900) , German orchestral conductor, was born at Giessen on the 7th of November 1839, and was the son of a Jewish
rabbi
 . He was educated at Giessen and
Mannheim
 , and came under Vincenz Lachner's notice. From 1855 to 1858 Levi studied at the
Leipzig
  conservatorium, and after a
series
  of travels which took him to Paris, he obtained his first post as music director at Saarbrucken, which post he exchanged for that at
Mannheim
  in 1861. From 1862 to 1864 he was
chief
  conductor of the German opera in Rotterdam, then till 1872 at Carlsruhe, when he went to
Munich
 , a post he held until 1896, when ill-
health
  compelled him to resign. Levi's name is indissolubly connected with the increased public appreciation of
Wagner
 's music. He conducted the first performance of Parsifal at Bayreuth in 1882, and was connected with the musical
life
  of that place during the
remainder
  of his career. He visited London in 1895.
