Lorin Varencove Maazel (March 6, 1930 – July 13, 2014) was an American conductor, violinist and composer. Making his debut at the conducting podium at the age of eight, he embarked on his career in earnest in 1953, establishing a reputation in European concert halls by 1960 but, by comparison, his career in the U.S. progressed far more slowly. However, he would later be appointed music director of the Cleveland Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic (NYP), among other posts. Well-regarded in baton technique and possessing a photographic memory for scores, described as mercurial and forbidding in rehearsal, he mellowed in old age
Maazel conducted the music for three operatic films, Don Giovanni (1979), Carmen (1984), and Otello (1986). His own compositions included an opera, 1984, based on the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. He was depicted conducting Vienna's New Year concert on an Austrian postage stamp issued in 2005.Maazel and his wife, Dietlinde Turban, operate a summer music festival called Castleton Festival at their Castleton, Virginia 600-acre (2.4 km2) estate, Castleton Farms. Maazel arranged Wagner's Ring Cycle into a 75-minute suite, The 'Ring' Without Words, which he recorded in 1987 with the Berlin Philharmonic
Early in 2014, the mostly reliable conductor was forced to cancel concerts as a result of an unnamed medical condition. In June 2014, he announced his resignation as music director of the Munich Philharmonic and his withdrawal from performances during the 2014/15 season.[23]
He died aged 84 on July 13, 2014, at his Castleton Farms estate in Virginia, from complications of pneumonia
