His first full-time position since arriving in the UK some 15 years earlier came with his appointment as lecturer in music history at Edinburgh University in 1955, and in 1962 he became a professor of music at the University of Manchester (succeeding Humphrey Procter-Gregg), which awarded him an honorary Doctor of Music degree in 1967. Redlich contributed a volume to Eric Blom's Master Musicians Series in 1955: Bruckner and Mahler was a ground-breaking work in English. In the introduction he tells us he met Gustav Mahler as a child and his father was a friend of Mahler. Later he knew members of Mahler's family and published, from 1919 onwards, several studies in German of Mahler and his music. His book on Alban Berg, published in 1957, was the first to appear in English, and contains lengthy chapters analysing Wozzek and Lulu. In 1966 Redlich was a founding member and the first vice-president of the International Alban Berg Society of New York. He was a major contributor to the New Oxford History of Music and the fifth edition of the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, as well as English editor to Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, for which he wrote many of the entries on English composers. In 1953 he was a member of the editorial board for the Hallischen Händel-Ausgabe. He produced critical editions of Handel's Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks (1962–1966), the first chance for English audiences to hear the works in their original scoring, rather than in the suites heavily orchestrated by Hamilton Harty. He also acted as the general editor of the Eulenburg miniature scores series. Redlich married his first wife Elise Gerlach in 1930, and she came to the UK with him. She died in 1959 and he married again in 1961 to Erika Burger. Redlich died in Manchester, where he had been living at 1 Morville Road, after several heart attacks.
