Summary: “René Leibowitz (1913–1972)” We showcase works composed by René Leibowitz, as well as one of his memorable Beethoven symphony recordings. Many of the works of the Second Viennese School were first heard in France at the International Festival of Chamber Music established by Leibowitz in Paris in 1947. Leibowitz was highly influential in establishing the reputation of the Second Viennese School, both through activity as a teacher in Paris after World War II and through his book Schoenberg et son école, published in 1947. He taught composition and conducting to many pupils, including Pierre Boulez (composition only), Antoine Duhamel, and Vinko Globokar.
