Uni Salzburg takes over the Böhm Collection
Mrs. Almaz Böhm has donated a collection of personal documents of the conductor Karl Böhm to the University of Salzburg. The University Library is responsible for storing, describing, cataloging and making the objects available for science and research.
The Karl Böhm Collection includes books and music - particularly noteworthy are the study scores with Böhm's annotations and notes. The objects also include life documents, contracts and correspondence, for example with Deutsche Grammophon and the Salzburg Festival.
Karl Böhm's notebooks and diaries document his impressive workload. The collection also includes numerous prizes, honors, awards, orders and medals with the corresponding documents and certificates, batons and even his tailcoat.
