I am creating this thread as a companion to the Composers on Stamps thread. Also included will be other things related to classical music, such as concert halls, music academies, opera houses, etc.

Let's start out with one for krepki

Johann Gerstner (1851-1939), violinist
Slovenia, 2011, Scott #891

Enrico Caruso (1873-1921), tenor
USA, 1987, Scott #2250

My collection is a little light on performers. Show me some more.

Now we come to some of the hand wavers, starting with an encore appearance of

Arturo Toscanini (1867-1957), conductor
USA, 1989, #2411

Eugen Jochum (1902-1987), founder and conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
Germany, 2002, #2180

Robert Stolz (1880-1975), conductor, composer
Germany (Berlin), 1980, #9N456

Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990), conductor
USA, 2001, #3521

Not only was Bernstein the preeminent American conductor, he was also a great educator and lecturer. If you have any interest in classical music, you owe it to yourself to check out some Bernstein lectures on YouTube.

Cheers,

Tedski

OK

INTRO:
since Slovenia has been under different authorities during all periods of past, it is hard, because a lot of "our" famous and important figures are basically "someone elses" famous figures

Giuseppe Tartini was born in Piran (Slovenia)and is considered as towns main figure. But it was in Italy, so Italians take him for theirs

But he is important to our history and we cherish his legacy

Received this in the mail today from the 100 Stamp Exchange Club. I presume this is a Maxi Card. Since I dont collect them, I am not sure. Anyways, I was trying to find this stamp in the Scott Catalog and couldnt find it in the Germany section. Well I had the First Day of Cancel date and still couldnt find it. After a few minutes, I finally found it listed under, German Occupation Stamps. Now I know why I dont collect German stamps.... 3669160923

and I was born in Heidelberg, Germany.... lol

Scott# 9N502 - Otto Klemperer (1885-1973), Conductor

Otto Klemperer was a multifaceted conductor, a master at interpreting opera, the avant-garde, and the classic German repertoire. Those musicians who performed under his baton recall his sternness and indomitable spirit, which enabled him to overcome personal and historical challenges. Read more here.

His Violin Sonata in G minor "The Devil's Trill," is very famous here. It's the only piece of his I know. I need to check out some more of his work.

Whenever you see "Berlin" after Deutsche Bundespost, that is your cue to go to the 9N numbers. And, yes, you are correct. That is a maxi card.
