Rathaus's name is known to me only because he did an orchestration of
Musorgsky's 'Boris Godunov' that was used, among other places, at the
Metropolitan in an English-language version (with libretto translation by
John Gutman) for some years.  He also had a brief stint as a Hollywood
score composer in the late 1930s.  He then became chairman of the music
department at Queens College (CUNY).
