Starting out as a classical cellist, he founded his own period instrument ensemble, Concentus Musicus Wien, in the 1950s, and became a pioneer of the Early Music movement. Around 1970, Harnoncourt started to conduct opera and concert performances, soon leading renowned international symphony orchestras, and appearing at leading concert halls, operatic venues and festivals. His repertoire then widened to include composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 2001 and 2003, he conducted the Vienna New Year's Concert. Harnoncourt was also the author of several books, mostly on subjects of performance history and musical aesthetics. Harnoncourt met his wife Alice through their mutual interest in historically informed performances of Baroque music and co-founded the Concentus Musicus Wien. Their daughter is the mezzo-soprano Elisabeth von Magnus. Their two surviving sons are Philipp and Franz. Their third son Eberhard, a violin maker, died in 1990 in an automobile accident.

He was a racing driver from England. He participated in 29 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 2 January 1967. He achieved 2 podiums, and scored a total of 20 championship points. In 1970, Courage qualified 9th to the Dutch Grand Prix around the Zandvoort circuit. Running in the middle of the field (some part of) the De Tomaso's front suspension or steering broke on the bump at Tunnel Oost, causing the car to suddenly go straight on instead of finishing the (flat-out in top) bend. It then rode up an embankment (one of the Zandvoort dunes) and disintegrated, the engine breaking loose from the monocoque upon which it burst into flames (no automatic petrol seals at that time). To lighten the De Tomaso magnesium was used in its chassis and suspension. The magnesium burned so intensely that many nearby trees and bushes were set alight. During the impact one of the front wheels broke off the car and obviously hit Courage's head, tearing away his helmet (both came rolling out of the cloud of dust at the same time). It may safely be assumed that this impact broke Courage's neck and/or caused fatal head injuries and that he died instantly as a result (compare Mike Spence's accident at Indianapolis in 1968). Just three years later Roger Williamson crashed fatally when his car came to rest upside down and burst into flames at exactly the same spot - the Tunnel Oost bump - where Courage's accident started.

Despite the initial success, the Olympic Movement faced hard times, as the 1900 (in De Coubertin's own Paris) and 1904 Games were both swallowed by World's Fairs, and received little attention.
De Coubertin remained Honorary President of the IOC until he died in 1937 in Geneva, Switzerland, almost ruined.
