HansSwarowsky (1899-1975) gehört aufgrund seiner großen intellektuellen und künstlerischen Vielseitigkeit (er war als Dirigent, Pädagoge, Autor und Übersetzer tätig), durch seine bis heute nachwirkende Tätigkeit als Dirigierlehrer und durch seinen stets unkonventionellen Zugang auf Interpretationsfragen zu den interessantesten Figuren der österreichischen Musikgeschichte des 20.
Swarowsky dirigierte ab 1945 in aller Welt und trug wesentlich zu einer entromantisierten Sicht der Wiener Klassik und zur „Mahler-Renaissance“ bei; er gründete 1946 die Dirigentenschule an der damaligen Wiener Musikakademie (seine Absolventen zählen zu den renommiertesten Dirigenten der Gegenwart).
