JOSEPH ROSENSTOCK

'Joseph Rosenstock' (born 27 January 1895 in Kraków, died 17 October 1985 in New York) was a Polish conductor. He worked at the state opera in Wiesbaden before being brought into the Metropolitan Opera in New York to replace Artur Bodanzky in 1928. However, he received such poor critical reviews that he himself resigned almost immediately and Bodanzky was brought back. Returning to Germany, he worked in Mannheim. He later moved to Japan where he conducted the NHK Symphony Orchestra, increasing its standards significantly. There he taught Roh Ogura how to conduct Beethoven's symphonies. From 1948 to 1956, he returned to New York to work with the New York City Opera, debuting with ''Le nozze di Figaro''.
