Reading Otto Klemperer's "Shavings from a Musician's Workbench," I ran into a sentence where he mentions in passing that "Between 1933 and 1939 I was musical director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, during which time I founded the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (in 1937) and conducted its first concerts."What's the story? The orchestra's own site says only that "Klemperer was critical to the Orchestra's solidification as an American institution in the late 1930s," and other references I found during a quick search admit even less, saying no more than that he had a role in the reorganization of the orchestra during that period.
Is Klemp exaggerating his own input? Anyone in the know?
