Herbert Zipper--Austrian conductor and music pedagogue. He conducted the Düsseldorf Symphony and Manila Symphony. He knew Schoenberg in Vienna (1920-1921) as a member of the Verein für musikalische Privataufführungen. He was so impressed with Pierrot lunaire, having attended all of the rehearsals of that work at the Verein, that he recorded it commercially later in life (1962). He taught at the University of Southern California (1971-1980).
