Ua hui nā mea aloha mele Soviet i kēia mea pena kiʻi i kēia manawa, ʻoiai ua ʻike ʻia kona inoa iā mākou no ka manawa lōʻihi mai nā moʻolelo a me nā hōʻike paʻi. I kēia manawa, hele maiʻo Kurtz mai Rusia mai, ua pukaʻo ia i ke kula kiʻekiʻe o St. Petersburg Conservatory, kahi i aʻo aiʻo ia me N. Cherepnin, A. Glazunov a me Y. Vitol. A ma hope mai, e noho nui ana ma USA, ʻaʻole i uhaʻi ke alakaʻi i kona pilina me nā mele Lūkini, ʻo ia ke kumu o kāna repertoire ʻaha mele.

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Kurz i kāna ʻoihana kiʻi i ka makahiki 1920, i ka wā i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho ma Berlin, alakaʻi ʻo ia i ka orchestra ma ke mele mele a Isadora Duncan. Ua hoʻokomo ka alakaʻi ʻōpio i ka manaʻo o nā alakaʻi o ka Berlin Philharmonic, nāna i kono iā ia i kahi hana mau. I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Kurz ma nā kūlanakauhale nui a pau o Kelemania, a i ka makahiki 1927 ua lilo ʻo ia i alakaʻi o ka Stuttgart Orchestra a me ke alakaʻi mele o ka Radio Deutsche. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻomaka kāna huakaʻi huakaʻi. I ka makahiki 1927, ua hele pū ʻo ia me ka ballerina Anna Pavlova i kāna huakaʻi i ʻAmelika Latin, hāʻawi i nā ʻaha mele kūʻokoʻa ma Rio de Janeiro a me Buenos Aires, a laila komo i ka Salzburg Festival, i hana ʻia ma Netherlands, Polani, Belgium, Italia a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻāina. Ua loaʻa iā Kurtz kahi inoa koʻikoʻi ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi ballet a no kekahi mau makahiki i alakaʻi i ka hui o ka Russian Ballet o Monte Carlo.

I ka makahiki 1939, ua koi ʻia ʻo Kurtz e neʻe mai ʻEulopa, ma mua i Australia a laila i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻo ia ka mea alakaʻi o kekahi mau orkestra ʻAmelika - ʻo Kansas, Houston a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, no kekahi manawa ua alakaʻi pū i ka orchestra ma Liverpool. E like me ka wā ma mua, hele nui ʻo Kurtz. I ka makahiki 1959, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kāna hana mua ma ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻo La Scala, e hoʻokūkū ana iā Ivan Susanin ma laila. "Mai nā hana mua loa, ua ʻike maopopo ʻia," i kākau ai kekahi o nā mea hōʻino Italia, "ʻo ke alakaʻi e kū ana ma hope o ka podium, ka mea i manaʻo maikaʻi i ke mele Lūkini." I ka makahiki 1965 a me 1968, hā'awi 'o Kurtz i kekahi mau 'aha mele ma ka USSR.
