Composers & Music / Karol Lipiński
Saturday 31 January 2015, 17:59
I happened to have some downloaded music stored on my hard disk somewhere. It included some music by the Polish composer Karol Lipiński (1790 - 1861).
Might as well mention him since I haven't found any threads about him on the forums yet.
This composer and virtuoso violinist was born in Radzyń Podlaski, Poland. In 1818, he performed two concerts in Milan, together with Niccolò Paganini, whom he had met a year before.
In 1820 he travelled to Berlin, where he met Louis Spohr. Then he went to Russia. In 1829 he went to Warsaw and played a series of concerts with Paganini again.
In 1835-36 he went on a long tour and met Robert Schumann in Leipzig, who was really impressed of him.
Several works have been recorded on CD.
This post was just to give a quick introduction about Lipiński, and I hope you will like what you'll find.

Composers & Music / Siegmund von Hausegger: Natursymphonie
Saturday 31 January 2015, 16:44
I was looking for some composers on a YouTube channel called UnsungMasterworks when I stumbled upon this symphony.
It was written by an Austrian composer I had never heard of before, his name is Siegmund von Hausegger (1872 - 1948).
While writing this post, I am listening to this work and up till now I'm really impressed!
Wikipedia says that the composer's father Friedrich, who Siegmund initially studied with, was one of the first in Austria to recognize the greatness of Richard Wagner, and his works show a strong Wagnerian tinge.
He also had a reputation as conductor, being the first to conduct Bruckner's Ninth Symphony in its original form.
Siegmund von Hausegger was talked of in the first years of the 20th century as one of the great next talents after Strauss and Mahler, but still he was forgotten, despite his multiple successes, and his full-blooded post-Wagnerian style went out of fashion.
Tell me what you think of it. I can't give download link because it's available on CD now.
