Gottfried von Einem Life


Educated in Germany and in England, von Einem was one of the most distinguished Austrian composers.

He studied composition with Boris Blacher and his musical language is tonal, often with a tendency to the neo-classical.

For the Dresda Opera he composed the ballet "Prinzessin Turandot", a genre he found most congenial.

His Violin Concerto, completed in 1967, is a good introduction to his music.
