		Louis Spohr (Braunschweig, April 5, 1784–Kassel, October 22, 1859) was a German composer, violinist and conductor.
		Spohr was born in Braunschweig in the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg and showed talent for the violin from his early childhood.
		Spohr lated worked as conductor at Theater an der Wien, Vienna (1813-1815), where he became friendly with Ludwig van Beethoven, and as opera director at Frankfurt (1817-1819) where he was able to stage his own operas — the first of which, Faust, had been rejected in Vienna.

	The Spohr Society of Great Britain
		The Spohr Society was formed in 1969 as the British branch of the Internationale Louis Spohr Gesellschaft based in the German city of Kassel (where a Spohr Museum in the Bellevue Palace is open at weekends).
		Spohr was born in the North German city of Braunschweig (Brunswick) on 5 April 1784 and as a boy showed talent for the violin.
		Spohr's importance for his contemporaries and what captured them and enraptured them was his richness of harmony and command of modulation and chromaticism.

	Louis Spohr - Complete String Quintets Vol. 1 [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Jun2002 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Spohr’s first two Quintets were written whilst he was orchestral director at the Theater an der Wien from 1813-15.
		He asked Spohr to compose chamber music, thirty ducats for a quartet, thirty-five for a quintet, with Tost to retain the manuscript and to be performed only with Tost in attendance.
		In its aversion to easy effects or to the innovative Spohr might be seen as a retrogressive composer but, as the Op 33 No 2 Quintet shows, there is plenty of room for a craftsman of lyric abundance in the chamber literature.

		Louis Spohr’s career as a composer encompassed Beethoven’s Opus 18 string quartets and Wagner’s ‘Tristan and Isolde’.
		Encouraged by her, he wrote a number of chamber pieces with piano parts so that this string quintet is the only work for strings alone that Spohr wrote in the first 9 years of his new marriage (previously he had regularly produced sets of chamber music for strings).
		June 1838 also saw the tragic death at the age of 19 of Spohr’s youngest daughter, Therese, who was reputed to be an exact likeness of her late mother.

		Spohr already was at that time a European celebrity as one of the prominent composers, as most important German violonist, as innovative conductor and a famous paedagogue.
		Spohr informed his pupils always free of charge, whereby it himself always more around the final touch with the young, nearly finished trained musicians acted.
		Spohr conducted the premiere of the Piano Concert of Burgmüller on 14 January 1830.

		Although virtually unknown to general audiences, the musical legacy of German composer, conductor and violinist Ludwig Spohr (known to English audiences of the day as Louis Spohr) is far-reaching indeed.
		Born in Northern Germany in 1784, Spohr showed early talent for and interest in the violin, and by age fifteen he was a member of the ducal orchestra at Braunschweig.
		Throughout his life Spohr was famous for being as generous and warm a person as he was profound a musician.

		Spohr refered to it as Der Sprudelsatz ("The Bubble Piece") on account of the bubbling springs of Carlsbad, where he was visiting just before the time of the trio's completion, seeking help for a liver complaint.
		The piece is almost carefree, full of lightness and light itself, so youthful that it doesn't betray Spohr's 60 years at the time of its composition.
		After all, if none of the names here (including Spohr) are familiar to you, then you could just let the music and music-making speak for itself.

		Published in Spohr's 200th anniversary year, this book is the first to deal at length with both the life and the works of a composer who exerted a strong influence on the development of nineteenth-century music.
		Spohr was hailed in his own day as a worthy successor to Mozart and Beethoven, yet in the present century his former renown has gone largely unrecognised.
		The chronological account of Spohr's life unfolds in parallel with the description of his musical output; a final chapter considers the decline of his reputation after his death.

	Review
		That's not to say that Spohr lacks the strong compositional profile of his better contemporaries; quite the contrary, he had as distinctive a style as anyone.
		Considering the fact that Spohr was only twenty-one years old when he completed it, it is a remarkable achievement.
		By the way, sources reveal there are two other Spohr violin concertos, and I'm not referring here to the two he wrote for two violins and orchestra.

	MUSIC - ALSTEIN - Composers - Louis (Ludwig) Spohr
		Violinist, composer and conductor, Louis Spohr made his sensationally successful debut in the Leipziger Gewandhaus in 1804 at the age of 20.
		It was followed by a successful concert tour through Germany in the winter 1807-1808.
		Spohr wrote a new Sonata opus 115 for a second concert tour in the winter of 1809-1810 (opus 115, Schubert Edition in Hamburg, titled Sonata for harp or pianoforte with violin or violoncello).

		After previously offering an expertly performed complete cycle of Louis Spohr's violin concertos for CPO (and an outstanding bargain at six CDs for the price of two!), violinist Ulf Hoelscher returns, this time with his sister, scholar/violinist Gunhild Hoelscher, in a recording of Spohr's Concertantes 1 and 2 for two violins and orchestra.
		The unusual if not unprecedented scoring of the second-movement Larghetto is also fascinating, as Spohr eschews the orchestra's winds, violins, and violas, leaving the soloists accompanied only by the cellos and a double bass.
		This somber passacaglia-like meditation is a marvel, with a fiercely sentimental violin melody punctuated throughout by clusters of brooding string figures.

		The Spohr concertos are nice easy listening (uncomplicated), but they don't hold a candle to those by Carl von Weber.
		The works by Louis Spohr featured on this recording are not standard works for clarinet, which is very refreshing.
		This recording of L. Spohr's clarinet concertos is very well apt and competent, to be sure, but the fundamental shortcoming is that the works by Spohr are not particularly impressive themselves.
