Hans Keller

Categories: Music / songs

Countries: Austria

Hans Keller

Musician and writer, who made significant contributions to musicology and music criticism, as well as being a commentator on such disparate fields as psychoanalysis and football.

From : "Hans Keller was born in Vienna in 1919 and lived with his family in Döbling until the Anschluss forced him to immigrate to London in 1938. After the war he quickly made his name as a highly original musical writer, notable particularly for his combination of music and psycho-analysis, and his polemical defence of the musicians he most admired. From 1959 to 1979 he held a variety of senior positions at the BBC, for which he was a frequent and popular broadcaster. He died of motor neurone disease in 1985."

Husband to Milein Cosman.
