The orchestral conductor Heinz Unger (1895–1965) was born in Berlin, Germany and was reared from a young age to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a lawyer. In 1915, he heard a Munich performance of Gustav Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (“The Song of the Earth”) conducted by Bruno Walter and thereafter devoted the rest of his life to music and particularly to the dissemination of Gustav Mahler’s music. 

This microhistorical engagement explores how the strands of German Jewish identity converge and were negotiated by a musician who spent the majority of his life trying to grasp who he was. Critical to this understanding was Gustav Mahler’s music – a music that Unger endowed with exceptional meaning and that was central to his Jewish identity.  This book sets this exploration of Unger’s “performative ritual” within a biographical tale of a life lived travelling the world in search of a home, from the musician’s native Germany, to the Soviet Union, England, Spain, and finally, Canada.
