The eminent Italian conductor, Carlo Maria Giulini, studied viola and composition at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome and played under the guidance of Otto Klemperer and Bruno Walter.
From 1946 Carlo Maria Giuliniconducted for the RAI, and he took over its Symphony Orchestra in Milan when it was founded in 1950.
From 1978 to 1984 he was the successor to Zubin Mehta as the musical director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and he made several tours of Europe with this orchestra.
Giulini bridged the golden age of conducting and a later generation of such Italian maestros as Riccardo Muti and Claudio Abbado.
Giulini's search for insight sometimes produced pauses in his career, when he would stay away from the podium for periods of reading, reflection and study.
Giulini received a conducting degree in 1941 from the Santa Cecilia conservatory, studying with Bernardino Molinari.
