Ernö Rapée (or Erno Rapee) (4
June 1891 – 26 June 1945) was one of the most prolific American symphonic
conductors in the first half of the 20th Century. His most famous tenure was
that of the head conductor of the Radio City Symphony Orchestra, the resident
orchestra of the Radio City Music Hall, whose music was heard by millions over
the air.
A
virtuoso pianist, Rapée is also remembered for popular songs that he wrote in
the late 1920s as photoplay music for silent films. When not conducting live
orchestras, he supervised film scores for sound pictures, compiling a
substantial list of films on which he worked as composer, arranger or musical
director.
