匹兹堡交响乐团(Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra)

匹兹堡交响乐团的前身是匹兹堡艺术协会的管弦乐团，创立于l895年，首任指挥是阿嘉，l898年交棒给轻歌剧名作曲家哈巴特，l904年由鲍阿接任，但6年后乐团就解散了。l926年，由该地音乐家再度发起，组织了匹兹堡交响乐团协会，于是再度开始活动，经过布里斯金和莫达雷里的指挥后，l937年由克伦贝勒接任，并进行彻底的改革与训练，但次年就交棒给莱纳，他担任这支乐团的音乐监督，先后达10年之久。接着，萨巴塔只指挥一个乐季，就由客席指挥维持下去，1952年由斯坦伯格接任，在引退前的25年里，把这支乐团培育成全美首屈一指的著名乐团。l978年起，改由普烈文担任音乐监督，又获得世界乐坛的注目。马泽尔曾任首席指挥， 现任首席指挥Manfred Honeck 。团员共106名，他们的演奏，充分反映出斯坦伯格的性格，是所有美国乐团中，最具德国式厚重音响的。

The orchestra was founded by the Pittsburgh Arts Society with conductor Frederic Archer in 1895, who brought with him a number of musicians from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and led the PSO in its first concert the following year.

Archer left in 1898 and was replaced by Victor Herbert, who took the orchestra on several tours and greatly increased the orchestra's presence. Herbert was replaced by Emil Paur in 1904. The orchestra attracted a number of prominent guest conductors during these early years, including Edward Elgar and Richard Strauss, but was dissolved in 1910 because of financial difficulties.

Re-establishment

It was 1926 before the orchestra was resurrected, with its members rehearsing for no fee, and each contributing money to make a new season the following year possible. The orchestra's leader, Elias Breeskin, was also its conductor for the first few years. In 1930, Antonio Modarelli was brought in as conductor. In 1937, Otto Klemperer was brought in to reorganise the orchestra, quickly raising the orchestra to an international level..............
