Talk:Eleazar de Carvalho

Untitled
From the Oxford Compact Dictionary (1996, 2004) - tuba-player from 1930-40 in the orchestra of the Teatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro. Conducted the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra after 1941. Went to the USA in 1946 and studied with Serge Koussevitzky; guest-conducted leading American orchestras, and was the conductor for the Saint Louis Symphony from 1963 to 1968. Returned to Brazil in 1971. Taught at the Juilliard School in 1983.

His compositions include (this from the same source and also LoC which latter source as used here is ©free, unlike the above though I did paraphrase somewhat.) operas, symphonic poems, chamber music; LoC has a manuscript of Um chôrinho brazileiro from 1948. (And quite a few of his recordings including Lewenthal playing Anton Rubinstein and Scharwenka 2/finale.)

IMDB claims he died in 1996. (And that he was the first Brazilian to conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in 1947.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 22:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Ph. D.?
It's pretty unlikely that he earned a "Ph.D. in music" from Washington State. Ph.D.s in music are offered only for research fields (history, theory, ethnomusicology) or sometimes composition, not for performers. The doctoral degree for performers is most typically a Doctor of Musical Arts. Carvalho may possibly have earned a Ph.D. in composition, but I doubt it (from what I know about him). The claim in the article should be sourced or clarified.76.169.154.92 (talk) 00:25, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
