EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of camaraderie among three renowned German musicians and conductors: Hermann Levi, Hans Richter, and Felix Mottl. The image, taken between the years 1839 and 1900, finds Levi, with his bushy beard and intense gaze, in deep conversation with Richter and Mottl. The latter two, also sporting impressive beards, listen intently as Levi speaks. The figure just out of shot, partially obscured by Richter, is Cosima Wagner, the influential wife of the famous composer Richard Wagner. Hermann Levi (1839-1900) was a prominent conductor who made his name at the Munich Court Opera and later became the first Jewish conductor at the Bayreuth Festival. Hans Richter (1843-1916) was a renowned conductor and music director, known for his work with the Munich Court Opera and the Vienna State Opera. Felix Mottl (1856-1911) was a Czech conductor who led the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and the Prague German Theatre. The men's shared passion for music and their mutual respect for one another are palpable in this photograph. Their beards, a common sign of intellectualism and artistic dedication during the time, further emphasize their commitment to their craft. The presence of Cosima Wagner, a central figure in the world of German opera, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this fascinating scene. This image offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of these influential musicians and their camaraderie, making it a valuable historical document of the German musical scene during the late 19th century.
