Description: 3X5 Vintage matte finish photograph signed in the lower margin in blue ink by Rafael Kubelik. In excellent condition. (1914-1996) Rafael Kubelik was a Czech conductor and composer. Son of a well-known violinist, Jan Kubelik, he was trained in Prague, and made his debut with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of 19. Having managed to maintain a career in Czechoslovakia under the Nazi occupation, he refused to work under what he considered a "second tyranny" after the Communist Czechoslovak coup d'at of 1948, and took refuge in Britain. He became a Swiss citizen in 1967. Kubelik was music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, musical director of The Royal Opera, Covent Garden. In 1957, he conducted and recorded the World premiere Berlioz's Les Troyens. During (1961- 79), he was music director of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and was a frequent guest conductor for leading orchestras in Europe and America. As a composer, Rafael Kubelik wrote in a neo-romantic idiom. His works include five operas, three symphonies, chamber music, choral works, and songs. This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022. Jim Wiggins accumulated the most unique and valuable autograph collection over a period of 70-plus years. He obtained his collection either in person or by writing to persons of fame and notoriety. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
