In 1953 he made his American debut with the Buffalo Philharmonic which was looking for a Music Director and he accepted the job for the 1954-55 season leaving London. He retained the post until 1963. He left Buffalo to lead the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra until 1970, when he accepted the post of Generalmusikdirektor of the Deutscheo Oper Berlin where he remained until 1973.
