Eugen Szenkár (1891 - 1977)
Though almost forgotten, before World War II Eugen Szenkár was a widely estimated and renown conductor with an odyssey-like biography (Budapest-Prague-Cologne-Berlin-Vienna-Moscouw-Tel Aviv-Rio de Janeiro). Among others, composers like Bartok, Prokofieff, Chatchaturian were personal friends of him, some of their works he even premiered.
Apart from some radio recordings (Hamburg, Cologne) the musical heritage of
Szenkár is in the hand of private collectors.
