Erich Kleiber
During the late 1940s and 1950s Schuricht conducted throughout Switzerland, at the re-opening of the Salzburg Festival in 1946, in Paris, and at the festivals of Holland, Lucerne, Aix-en-Provence and Montreux. He regularly conducted the South German Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1950 to 1966. When the Vienna Philharmonic first toured the USA in 1956 Schuricht replaced the recently deceased Erich Kleiber, sharing the conducting during the six weeks with André Cluytens.
