A portrait of the Concertgebouw Orchestra
The history of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in seven chief conductors.
Mengelberg’s list
This film by Jaap van Eyck examines Mengelberg’s role during the Second World War.
During the war, Mengelberg collaborated with the German occupiers. In 1945, he was banned for life from conducting in the Netherlands. This documentary shows that, despite all this, Mengelberg tried to support several dozen Jews during the war.
