Steinberg, William. (1899–1978). Signed Photograph.
Signed photograph of the important German-American conductor, who has inscribed "To Paul / best wishes / William Steinberg / 1972" in black ink. "William Steinberg / Music Director / Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra" stamp to verso. In fine condition. 8 x 10 inches (20.3 x 25.4 cm.).
A series of appearances with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in January of 1952 made such an impression that William Steinberg was engaged as Music Director, a position he held until 1976. He also served as principal guest conductor for the New York Philharmonic from 1966 to 1968, and director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1969 to 1972.
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
