Herr Heger was greeted with whistling and shouts of “We want Furtwaengler. This caused a lengthy delay in opening the performance. The Berlin correspondent ot _ me Times says that Herr Rosenberg in an article in the Beobachter shows that Dr Furtwaengler unforgivably offended by conducting the first performance of Hindemith’s “Mathis the Painter, causing a violent conflict behind the scenes, after which he spiritedly defended Hindemith’s artistry. , Herr Rosenberg condemns Hindemiths association with Jews and also says that he is tawdrilly imitating German music.
