Highly regarded German conductor who became embroiled in controversy with the rise of the Third Reich. Though vehemently anti-Hitler, he was widely viewed as a Nazi sympathizer, which severely impacted his career. Though such accusations permanently damaged his reputation in America, he remained enormously popular in Europe, and his recordings of the core orchestral repertoire remain classics of the era. Elusive vintage 3.25 x 5.25 postcard photo, signed in pencil below the image. In very good condition, with slight smudging to signature, slight trimming to top edge, and remnants from a former mounting on reverse. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
