A Windfall of Musicians
This book is the first to examine the brilliant gathering of composers, conductors, and other musicians who fled Nazi Germany and arrived in the Los
Angeles area. Musicologist Dorothy Lamb Crawford looks closely at the lives, creative work, and influence of sixteen performers, fourteen
composers, and one opera stage director, who joined this immense migration beginning in the 1930s. Some in this group were famous when they fled
Europe, others would gain recognition in the young musical culture of Los Angeles, and still others struggled to establish themselves in an
environment often resistant to musical innovation.
