Heinrich Marschner

Heinrich Marschner, was born in Zittau/Saxony on August 16, 1795 and passed away in Hanover on December 14, 1861.


He studied law in Leipzig and Vienna - then music. In Vienna he met Ludwig van Beethoven. Being a privat music instructor in Pressburg, he composed his first operas.


1822, Marschner moved to Dresden and became orchestra-master. Two operas made him famous: "Der Vampyr" (1828) and "Der Templer und die Juedin" (1829) - following Scott's "Ivanhoe".


1831, Marschner became Royal Orchestra Master in Hanover. His master piece "Hans Heiling" has been publised in 1833.


Marschner's operas are deeply romantic with nightly horror-elements and demonic gestures, while his chamber music compositions didn't carry through.

Gino Marinuzzi

Gino Marinuzzi was born on March 24, 1882 in Palermo/Italy and passed away on August 17, 1945 in Milan/Italy.

Gino Maruzzi has been a band master and conductor in Catania, Mantua, Palermo and Milan and later in Madrid/Spain, at the Opera Comique in Paris and the Milan Scala as well as in Rome, Chicago, Turin and with a travelling opera society even in South America.

Maruzzi remains as one of the best Italian opera conductors. His three operas and symphony poetries, i.e. "Suite Siciliana" (1910) unfortunately failed.
