BOOK
This biography charts the career and legacy of the pioneering
American music manager Arthur Judson (1881-1975), who rose to
prominence in Philadelphia and New York at the beginning of the
twentieth century. A violinist by training, Judson became manager
of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1915 under the iconic conductor
Leopold Stokowski. Within a few years, Judson also took on
management of the New York Philharmonic, navigating a period of
change and the tenures of several important conductors who
included William Mengelberg, Arturo Toscanini, and John
Barbirolli. Judson also began managing individual artists
including pianists Alfred Cortot and Vladimir Horowitz, violinist
Jasha Heifetz, and cellist Gregor Piatigorsky. He also organized
the U.S. tours of several prominent composers, including Igor
Stravinsky and Vincent d'Indy. At the same time, Judson began
managing conductors. His first clients were Stokowski and Fritz
Reiner. By the 1930s, Judson's conductor list included most of
the important conductors working in America. Drawing on rich
correspondence between Judson and the conductors and artists he
served, James M. Doering demonstrates Judson's multifaceted
roles, including involvement with programming choices, building
audiences, negotiating with orchestra members and their unions
and exploring new technologies for extending the orchestras'
reach. In addition to his colorful career behind the scenes at
two preeminent American orchestras, Judson was important for a
number of innovations in arts management. In 1922, he founded a
nationwide network of local managers and later became involved in
the relatively unexplored medium of radio, working first with
WEAF in New York City and then later forming his own national
radio network in 1927. Providing valuable insight into the
workings of these orchestras and the formative years of arts
management, The Great Orchestrator is a valuable portrait of one
of the most powerful managers in American musical history
