	Karl Muck - Biography - AOL Music
		Karl Muck was born in Darmstadt, Germany, on October 22, 1859.
		Karl studied piano with Kissner in Würzburg, but when he went for his university training, he elected to take classic academic studies, studying philology at the Universities of Heidelberg and Leipzig.
		Muck gained a reputation as natural leader, able to impose his discipline on an orchestra quickly and achieve intelligent, tasteful, and highly musical performances.

	INKPOT#88 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: WAGNER The Complete Karl Muck Parsifal Recordings. Various/Muck (Naxos Historical)
		Karl Muck is the nearest we have to a direct Wagner link, mainly through his relationship with Wagner's widow, Cosima.
		Muck's conducting of the prelude is very slow (in my experience only Toscanini has been slower on a 1930s BBC recording, although that performance lacks mystery).
		Karl Muck offers unique insights into this work in recordings that are very serviceable, and require minimal adjustment for the listener.

	Karl Bohm - Biography - AOL Music
		One of the most acclaimed operatic and orchestral conductors of his generation, Karl Bohm was one of the most influential musicians and recording artists in the postwar classical world.
		Among those in attendance at the performance was Karl Muck, one of the leading conductors of the day, famed at the time for his work at Bayreuth as well as with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
		Muck offered to train Bohm further in Wagner's music, and the younger man spent his apprenticeship with Muck working on the Ring cycle, Parsifal, Tristan und Isolde, and Meistersinger.

	Wagner: The Complete Karl Muck Parsifal Recordings, Orchestral Suite, etc / Muck
		Karl Muck (1859-1940), one of the greatest Wagnerian conductors of the generation immediately following those who knew and worked directly with the master, was responsible for leading the performances of Parsifal at Bayreuth from 1901 until 1930.
		It contains Muck's accounts of the Prelude to Act I and a sizable amount of Act III, recorded with the chorus and orchestra of the Berlin State Opera, and of excerpts from Acts I and II, recorded with the chorus and orchestra of the Bayreuth Festival.
		Muck sustains the prelude as if on a single breath, just at the point where the pulse almost disappears; the music seems to arise out of silence and darkness to become light and spirit.

	Amazon.com: Wagner: Overtures & Preludes: Music: Richard Wagner,Karl Muck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Muck occupies an interpretive place midway between the emotional and spiritual generosity of a Furtwängler and the intensity of a Toscanini; these are straightforward, stylish readings enlivened with little personal touches that bring the music to life.
		Karl Muck was a member of the first generation of conductors since Wagner himself that took a literal approach to a score (Toscanini and Weingartner among others).
		Muck's renditions are very objective and uneccentric, but that could also be because the orchestra is just not capable of playing the music except on a very basic level (I have heard youth orchestras that are better than this).

		Karl Muck (1859--1940), one of the greatest Wagnerian conductors of the generation immediately following those who knew and worked directly with the master, was responsible for leading the performances of Parsifal at Bayreuth from 1901 until 1930.
		Karl Muck was one of the great Wagner conductors, with an uncanny feel for Wagner's music (and a resemblance to the composer that was so uncanny that people thought that he was Wagner's illegitimate son!).
		On the 6th track of the first disc, Muck conducts the Transformation Music for the Grail Scene in Act I. In that scene you hear the bells that Wagner had constructed for the first performances of Parsifal at his own theater at Bayreuth (where these recordings were made).

	Sympathy for Karl Rove @ daily FISK... a humorous look at the news, politics and opinionators of our day
		Karl Rove, without judgement, gives generous cover to all who come, and greatly is he loved.
		Karl, pierced and bleeding, is hauled back and forth to a grand jury a preposterous four times, but finds the strength for swordplay, defending now the president, himself, and his government from inside assaults by his own people, the so-called Christians--he made these people!
		Karl should count himself blessed to be the brunt of yur pen.

	Muck's Wagner
		Muck was born in 1859—a year before Mahler—and lived 81 years.
		Muck was more, however, than a martinet; he was a "modern" conductor, who brooked no Schlamperei—and was so before Toscanini put his oar in the water.
		Listening to Muck again after 16 years, it strikes me that Fritz Reiner's tuition-by-observation of his countryman Artur Nikisch (1855-1922) may have been a technical revelation, but Muck was surely as influential (and possibly more) in respect to musicianship and interpretation.

	Reissue CDs, NOV02, Pt. 2 - AUDIOPHILE AUDITION
		Karl Muck (1859-1940), along with Arthur Nikisch and Felix Weingartner, belong to the older Germanic tradition, where the lean, athletic and largely unsentimental approach to Wagner is the rule.
		Muck found his way to Bayreuth in 1892, where his interpretations of the Ring cycle gained prominence; but in 1901 he led what became his calling card, Parsifal.
		Muck was ever the tough, durable conductor, well prepared and often volatile in performance.

		(So, which follow, are Karl Muck’s 1927-29 Berlin recordings.) A friend provided me with Lys’ remastering of a 1937 Soviet recording of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique with the USSR State Symphony Orchestra, created for Fried, who fled east (rather then west) in 1934 when the Nazis began their anti-Jewish pogrom.
		The Muck (rhymes with “look”) disc is generous, but it duplicates the contents of previous collections from Centaur, Preiser, Opal, Pearl, and especially Naxos, which is missing only the “Funeral Music” from Götterdämmerung included here (because it ran too long).

		Karl Muck (1859-1940) was chiefly regarded as a Wagner specialist, particularly for his conducting of Parsifal.
		The recordings preserve the imposing sonority of the bells that were built to Wagner's specification for the opera's 1882 premiere, and destroyed during World War II.
		Few modern singers match the relaxed authority Hofmann and Pistor respectively bring to Gurnemanz and Parsifal's sprawling vocal lines, and Brongeest is an Amfortas who bears his suffering with a modicum of dignity.

		Munich was the next stop in 1921 where Bruno Walter and Karl Muck were in charge and Böhm acknowledged a debt to both men throughout his career.

		Karl Muck (1859-1940) spent part of the 1910s as chief conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but he returned to Germany at the end of World War One.
		Bass Alexander Kipnis (Gurnemanz) and Fritz Wolff (Parsifal) were engaged for the Good Friday Spell, but Muck angrily backed down from conducting this scene when he was told that it would have to be split across three sides.
		Muck subsequently recorded the opera's Prélude and a large portion of Act III in the following year, this time for HMV, and at the Berlin State Opera instead of at Bayreuth.

	Felix Weingartner: Biography and Recordings
		Orchestral recordings of those born before him are either sonically very restricted - Nikisch (1855) is here the obvious instance - or limited in the scope of repertoire captured.
		For example, the records of Kajanus (1856) are confined almost wholly to Sibelius; those issued of Karl Muck (1859) contain little other than Wagner; Max Fiedler (1859) recorded nothing but Brahms; and Franz Schalk (May 1863) a mere handful of works by Beethoven and Schubert.
		Gaps there may be in Weingartner's recorded repertoire, in particular next to nothing of the Schubert and Schumann of which he was a renowned exponent in the concert hall.
