Fritz Rieger (1910-1978) was a German conductor, active in opera and symphonic repertory. He worked with several German orchestras and became associated with the Munich Philharmonic.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony with the Munich Philharmonia Orchestra.

Rieger’s conducting, as represented here, belongs to a post-war German orchestral tradition built on clarity, discipline and practical musical craft.

His page is compact but justified by secure identity and catalogue usefulness. Rieger gives this Mendelssohn corner a neat Bavarian podium signature.
