  Maria Luigi Carlo Zenobio Salvatore Cherubini - LoveToKnow 1911
Cherubini's librettist was also the author of the libretto from which Fidelio was adapted, and Cherubini's score was a constant object of Beethoven's study, not only before the production of the first version of Fidelio as Leonore, but also throughout Beethoven's life.
And though we must regret that Cherubini's disposition prevented him from understanding Beethoven, it would be by no means true to say that he was uninfluenced at least by the sheer grandeur of the scale which Beethoven had by that time established as the permanent standard for musical art.
In it the punishment drill of an incompetent schoolmaster was invested with the authority of a great composer, and by it the false antithesis between the "classical" and the "romantic" was erected into a barrier which many critics still find an insuperable obstacle to the understanding of the classical spirit.

The fact is, Cherubini is one of those composers whose name is a lot more familiar than his music.
On top of all that, while Cherubini achieved his greatest fame composing operas, he virtually gave up opera for the last three decades of his life, after a series of failures due in large part to inadequate librettos.
Yet, despite its obscure storyline, Cherubini blessed the opera with some remarkable music - more than worthy of a composer who had a pronounced influence on nearly every form of opera he touched during one of music's most distinguished and far-reaching careers.

Their playing is up to the very high standards of the series thus far, and features impeccable phrasing, optimal balances, and a truly enlivening sense of rhythm.
This last quality not only gives the finales a welcome jolt of energy and minimizes any suspicion of academicism in the often busy contrapuntal writing, but it also carries the listener through both of the long opening movements, in which the "moderato" stipulation might otherwise offer a temptation to allow the music to bog down.
In truth, these works are excellently proportioned: Cherubini compensates for the broad beginnings by writing relatively brief, aria-like slow movements and highly developed scherzos and finales.

Inside the museum, Alexandra Cherubini '99 spied her fashion invention, displayed under a glass case near Madonna's infamous pink satin bustier.
Publicity from an un-horsy source led to one of her inventions — a posture garment for horse riders — being selected for the Etxtreme Beauty show at the Met, which offered a critical perspective on "a smorgasbord of body-altering fashions," according to The New York Times.
The buzz all started, Cherubini says, when a fashion magazine editor picked up her nylon and Velcro invention, called ShouldersBack, at a New Jersey horse show and wore it to improve her posture.

"The moment Cherubini took over the Conservatoire after the death of Perne," Berlioz recalled, "he determined to mark his accession by introducting all sorts of restrictions in the internal affairs of the school, which had not, up to that time, been run on exactly puritan principles.
In order to prevent the intermingling of the two sexes except in the presence of the professors, he decreed that the men were to enter by the door in the Faubourg Poissonnière, and the women the door in the Rue Bergère; the two being at opposite ends of the building.
He and my accuser made the rounds of the table, examinging several students, until the servant stopped in front of me and cried, 'Here he is!' Cherubini was so angry that he could not utter a word.

Like the "little corporal" (who was, by the way, a great admirer), he was a Frenchified Italian who for years reigned at the helm of the Paris Conservatoire, the most prestigious institution of its kind in Europe, just as Napoleon dominated France.
Unlike his less fortunate compatriot, however, Cherubini survived the restoration of the monarchy, living out his 82 years in honor and comfort, becoming one of the first composers to actually write his own Requiem Mass (in our own century, Frank Martin was another).
As a composer, his reputation is kept alive solely by the opera Medea, one of Maria Callas' major vehicles, and in the instrumental realm, by his six late string quartets.
