Busch (1890-1951) was a German conductor. After serving in the army during the first world war, he held senior posts at both the Stuttgart Opera House and the Dresden State Opera, where he presented world premiers of operas by Richard Wagner, Fernucco Busoni, Paul Hendesmith and Kurt Weill among others. He also conducted the Bayreuth and Salzburg Festivals. Ardently anti-Nazi, he was dismissed from his post at Dresden in 1933 but later worked in South America and Europe, leading several opera seaons at the Teato Colon. This is his autobiography.
