Adorno, my household God. Lovely to hear him speak and in good English. An Italian student dragged me up some stairs to his flat a few days after his death, I would not have gone of my own accord. His living room had a grand piano and plenty of books as in my home. A very awkward conversation ensued. The friend spoke awkward French to me and made embarrassing remarks and questions, repeatedly asking "Where is the body?" I did not translate his remarks into German, although Gretel Adorno understood French perfectly. I wish I had been prepared. If I could go back to that moment, I would have said, "Your husband saved my life."

Such a precious recording! Thank you!

Thanks. A priceless contribution.

I disagree with Adorno on a great many things, but I value his scholarship on (and high estimation of) Alban Berg.

Thank you so much for this posting, the first time I've ever heard a recording of TWA speaking in English. More please John, if you have it.

Wow, this is a document of how we really are and how the others see "our" image. I mean the relations between the teachers and the students ! I've always liked Alban Berg !

I love how he ends sentences

Thank you so much for this upload. Beautiful. Please upload more if you have anything!

Hired Adorno speaking in English for the very first time.

Is there a citation for the original?
