Heinrich Jalowetz

John Stix: ... the cultural and philosophical prowess of the brilliant conductor Heinrich Jalowetz ... Jalo had an irresistible gift to capture the essence, often humorously, of whatever subject he addressed.

Will Hamlin: Heinrich Jalowetz, who had been a pianist and conductor in Europe, and had worked with many modern composers, including Alban Berg, taught music, especially piano and choral singing, but could be of important assistance to string players as well ... (Jalowetz died while he was a member of the BMC faculty, and was buried on the grounds of the Lake Eden campus).

Emil Willimetz: Heinrich Jalowetz (affectionately Jalo) was a major influence at the school, but in music. He wa greatly respected, not only as a musician, but as a person. Someone said, "I would not have appreciated the visual world as much without Albers, and man's love for man without Jalowetz" ... Sitting up close to Jalowetz during one of his piano concerts, I could hear him mouth the music under his breath – almost as if he were conducting an opera.... Jalowetz's death was very much in keeping with his life. He performed an evening of Beethoven sonatas, walked out on the porch, sat down and died. There is no doubt that he was the most beloved person at the college.
