Appointed conductor in 1912 at the newly founded Deutsches Opernhaus in Berlin, it was there where Ignatz Waghalter's youthful comic opera Mandragola received it's first performance, winning him huge acclaim: it's Overture and Intermezzo reveal his orchestral mastery. Waghalter left Europe for America in the 1930s, where he came to strongly identify with the Afro-American cause. The New World Suite's ten short, richly melodic movements illustrate his constant desire to write approachable and lively music. Vol. 1 in this series [8.572809] was an ICMA (Int'l Classical Music Awards) nominee.
