	Willem Mengelberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Willem Mengelberg (March 28, 1871 – March 22, 1951) was a Dutch conductor who was the principal conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from 1895 to 1945.
		Because of Mengelberg's co-operation with the occupying regime in The Netherlands during World War II, he was banned from conducting in the country by the Dutch government in 1945, and was stripped of his honours and his passport.
		Willem Mengelberg was the uncle of the musicologist and composer Rudolf Mengelberg and of the conductor, composer and critic Karel Mengelberg who was himself the father of the prominent improvising pianist and composer Misha Mengelberg.

		Mengelberg's supporters insist that his wartime record included humanitarian work and in any event was no different from that of other "pure" artists who remained aloof from politics and who did whatever was necessary to continue their cultural pursuits.
		Thus, Mengelberg just may be the most reliable indication of the essence of authentic 19th century conducting, in which an artist was expected to fill in the expressive gaps in the cold written score.
		Mengelberg is often remembered as a virtuoso of the orchestra, who demanded such close attention to performance detail that his elaborate preparations included up to a half-hour of tuning each instrument.

		Willem's mother was a good pianist, and the environment was by no means hostile to the development of his musical talent, which showed itself at an early age.

		Willem Mengelberg (1871-1951) is usually held up as a representative of the Romantic, 19th-century school of conducting, whose adherents supposedly ignore the score while giving wildly subjective performances.
		But what stands out in these performances is how natural Mengelberg’s tempos seem, and how coherent they make the structure of individual movements.
		The other trademark of Mengelberg’s performances is the extraordinary sound of the Concertgebouw, particularly the strings, which have a sweetness that no other orchestra of the time could match.

		He believes music should "sing" and expects scores to have a "rebirth" in performance, that interpreters should "awake dead notes lying on the paper." It is logical that he would have great admiration for masters of music who show individuality, understanding of the music and imagination.
