Summary/Abstract: Born in the interwar period (1926) in Petroșani, Mihai Guttman showed his early passion for music, and this passion determined him to be among the founding members of the Music School in Cluj in 1949. The orchestra of the school, established and led by him, has progressed to such an extent that in 1951 he held his first symphonic concert. Numerous compositions of the composer of Cluj Sigismund Toduță were presented for the first time by conductor Mihai Guttman. In addition to the concerts dedicated to the first auditions of Toduță, Mihai Guttman also promoted the creation of the young generation. Mr Cornel Țăranu, at that time a young student, today a member of the Romanian Academy, composed several works for the choral ensemble led by conductor Guttman, mentioning the madrigals on the lyrics of József Attila, Ion Vinea, and Luci-an Blaga. For the 1964 premiere of the cantata “Stejarul lui Horea” by Cornel Țăranu, the choral part was prepared by Mihai Guttman. Also, the master from Cluj included in the repertoire of the ensemble works by Anatol Vieru, Vasile Jianu, Mihai Moldovan, Liviu Glodeanu and many others.
