After working as a conductor at numerous German theaters, including the Halle City Theater Orchestra and under Arthur Nikisch at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, he was music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra from 1912 to 1917. In 1917 he conducted the orchestra's first Columbia recording. Following his internment as an enemy alien at the end of the First World War, he returned to Europe in 1919 and was appointed the first general music director in Königsberg i.Pr. in 1921. From 1928 to 1932 he led the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. After the Nazis seized power in Germany, Kunwald, who came from a Jewish family, emigrated to Vienna.LifeErnst Kunwald was born in Vienna in 1868 as one of six children of the lawyer, court and court advocate Ludwig Kunwald (1835–1909) and his wife Emma, ??née Pollak (1846–1910).[1] He came from the assimilated Jewish upper middle class[2] and was himself of the Protestant faith.[3] After graduating from the Catholic Schottengymnasium in Vienna's 1st district, he studied law at the University of Vienna from 1885[4], where he received his doctorate in law in 1891.[5] He practiced in courts for a total of two years.[6]He also graduated from the Conservatory of the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna.[7] His teachers included Theodor Leschetizky[8] (1882)[4] and Julius Epstein (1885/86) in piano and Julius Zellner (1883/84) and Hermann Graedener (1884–1887) in theory.[3] In 1893/94 he continued his piano and music theory studies with Salomon Jadassohn at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Leipzig.[3]From 1893 to 1895 he began his career as a solo répétiteur at the Leipzig Municipal Theater.[3] At the Rostock Municipal Theater he was choir director from 1895 to 1897.[3] In 1897/98 he was operetta conductor at the Sondershausen Court Theater.[3] In 1898 he moved to Essen-Ruhr as second conductor.[3] In 1900/01 he was chief conductor of the Halle City Theater Orchestra.[9] In 1901/02 he was the first German guest conductor at the Teatro Real in Madrid.[6] There he rehearsed Richard Wagner's Ring.[6] From 1902 to 1905 he worked as opera conductor in Frankfurt.[3] Here he conducted the premiere of the opera Der Bundschuh by Waldemar von Baußnern in 1904.[10] In 1905/06 he worked at the Kroll Summer Opera in Berlin[11] and in 1906/07 at the Nuremberg City Theater.[3]In 1906 he made his debut as a conductor with Berlioz, Wagner, Strauss and Beethoven and as a pianist with Wolf and Strauss at the Philharmonic Society of New York in Carnegie Hall.[6] He also made his first guest appearance with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra,[12] where he was to become second conductor under Arthur Nikisch from 1907 to 1912.[5] Kunwald then entered into negotiations with the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, but was ultimately recommended to Cincinnati by Nikisch.[13]Kunwald and his wife during her arrest in the USA (1917)In 1912 he went to the USA and became music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) in Ohio, succeeding Leopold Stokowski.[5] After the first season his contract was extended for another four years.[8] In Cincinnati he cultivated the classical-romantic repertoire, especially the German composers Ludwig van Beethoven and Richard Wagner.[8] In addition, he had the works of American composers such as Edward MacDowell, Henry Kimball Hadley and Victor Herbert played.[8] From 1914 to 1916 he also directed the Cincinnati May Festival choral festival.[14] He was responsible for the American premieres of Mahler's symphonic song cycle Das Lied von der Erde[15] and his 3rd Symphony.[16] Under his direction, the orchestra made its first recording for Columbia in 1917, Offenbach's Barcarole.[17] However, his commitment to German music and his expressions of sympathy for his homeland caused him problems over time.[18] After the United States entered World War I, the patriotic women's association Daughters of the American Revolution banned Kunwald from performing in Pittsburgh.[13] In December 1917 he was briefly arrested preventively, but was then released on parole at the instigation of Attorney General Thomas Gregory.[13] Nevertheless, the Board of Directors of the CSO granted his request for dismissal.[13] In January 1918, a new arrest warrant was issued by the United States Department of Justice, signed by J. Edgar Hoover.[13] Although Kunwald was sick in bed with a stomach ulcer, he was arrested and taken by two U.S. Marshals to the Montgomery County Jail[19] in Dayton, Ohio.[13] His wife and the orchestra representative Charles Taft were allowed to accompany him.[13] Via Fort Thomas, Kentucky, he was taken into custody by the United States Army, which transferred him to Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and interned him there.[13] There he was registered under prisoner number 721.[13] During his internment, Kunwald led an amateur orchestra.[20] After he was released at the end of May 1919, he returned to Europe from New York Harbor in the course of a week.[21]After the departure of Wilhelm Sieben[22], he directed the symphony concerts in Königsberg i.Pr. from 1920 to 1927.[11] In 1921 he was appointed General Music Director as the first conductor.[22] He was also conductor of the Singakademie there.[11] During his years in Königsberg, he was responsible for the opera premiere of Handel's Serse in a Rainer Simons production at the Schönbrunn Palace Theater in Vienna in 1925. From 1928 to 1932 he succeeded Emil Bohnke[11] as conductor of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, the former Blüthner Orchestra, which had merged with the Berlin Philharmonic in autumn 1932. With this orchestra he premiered Symphony No. IV[23] by Norbert von Hannenheim and the songs Passion im Urwald[24] by Grete von Zieritz in 1932. After the Nazis seized power in Germany, he returned to his home in Vienna.[25]He published several articles in specialist journals, but his textbook on conducting remained unpublished.[26]Ernst Kunwald was married to Lina, née Rücker (1869–1942) from 1899[27].[1] His brother[7] Gottfried Kunwald (1869–1938) was a banker, financial expert and lawyer and published the music and theater magazine Der Merker from 1909 to 1912.[26] The pianist Peter Stadlen and the journalist Eric Stadlen were his nephews.
