Known for his interpretations of Bruckner's symphonies, Tintner (1917-1999) was a Austrian-born (he was the first Jew to be in the Vienna Boys' Choir). He fled Europe in the 1930s and lived and
worked as a conductor in New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. This biography was written by his third wife, who lived with him for 23 years and yet felt after his death that there was a great
deal about him she did not know. She did the research and here presents an engaging portrait of a man with phenomenal talent and an extraordinary life and career. UWA Publishing is a division
