Manfred Gurlitt (1890-1972) was a German conductor and composer, active in opera and orchestral repertory before later working in Japan.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears with Josef Wolfsthal in Mozart’s Violin Concerto, recorded with the Berlin State Opera Orchestra.

Gurlitt’s presence belongs to the interwar German recording world, where conductor-composers often moved fluidly between opera pit, studio and concert platform.

His page is justified by secure identity and catalogue context. Gurlitt gives the Wolfsthal concerto shelf a period German podium frame.
