A CONDUCTOR ON FIVE CONTINENTS HAS DIED
September 14, 2014 by norman lebrecht
9 comments.
We are sad to report the death of Peter Sandor Er�s, a much-liked
conductor whose flight from Hungary in 1956 led to the most
international of careers. Peter, who was almost 82, was immediately
accepted in Amsterdam as associate conductor of the Concertgebouw
orchestra, moving on to a similar position with Georg Szell at the
Cleveland Orchestra.
He was music director of the Malm� Symphony Orchestra(1966�69) in
Sweden, with the Australian radio orchestras orchestras (1967�69,
1975�79), the San Diego Symphony and La Jolla CO and the Aalborg
Symphony (1982�89) in Denmark. In addition, he made nine tours of
South Africa, conducted the Israel Philharmonic and established a
foothold in the Far East. Peter was truly international.
A gifted teacher, Peter�s Amsterdam students included the Dutch
conductors Hans Vonk and Edo De Waart.

Never heard of him. Doubt others have either or you would have put his
name in the headline.

I had never heard of him either but not every person can have
celebrity status.
Here are some more details on his life.

It�s �link bait� when you say a �conductor on 5 continents has died�.
It makes you think it�s someone you know, was famous, or care about,
not a filler story for a slow news day that needs a misleading
headline to get us to click on it.
�News is stuff you haven�t heard of before�. But I�d like it to be
something that remotely interests me.

Steve, you might want to just crawl back into that little egocentric
hole you came out of�the many musicians, students and concert goers
who had the pleasure of knowing this fine conductor and teacher
appreciate this short announcement of his passing�obviously not every
bit of news is interesting or relevant to all readers�

If he was so well known why wasn�t his name in the headline of the
story? I�m against link bait headlines, which are common here. I had
no problems with the story itself.
I searched Amazon.com and couldn�t find a single listing for this
�eminent conductor�.

Great way to handle criticism of link baiting headlines. Don�t bother
to defend it or deny it.
You�re a laughing joke in the classical music world. Ban away.
