The renowned orchestral conductor Juan Pablo Izquierdo, recipient of the National Arts Prize in Music 2012, has performed a representative part of the orchestral oeuvre of León Schidlowsky both in Chile and in important concert halls of the United States, Europe and Israel. In a dialogue with the scholar Álvaro Gallegos, Izquierdo discusses three works by Schidlowsky in which some important features of his music appear. These works are the Sinfonía “La Noche de Cristal” (Kristall Nacht Symphony) (1961, O50), Llaqui (1965, O-58) and Carrera (1991, O256). They are considered within the overall artistic development of Schidlowsky as composer, taking into account the various elements which have shaped his music and its international projection in Israel and Europe, especially in Germany.
