Ignaz Brüll
Composer
1846 – 1907
Who was Ignaz Brüll?
Ignaz Brüll was a Moravian born pianist and composer who lived and worked in Vienna.
His operatic compositions included Das Goldene Kreuz, which became a repertory work for several decades after its first production in 1875, but eventually fell into neglect after being banned by the Nazis because of Brüll's Jewish origins. He also wrote a small corpus of finely crafted works for the concert hall and recitals. Brüll's compositional style was lively but unabashedly conservative, in the vein of Mendelssohn and Schumann.
Brüll was also highly regarded as a sensitive concert pianist. Brahms regularly wanted Brüll to be his partner in private performances of four-hand piano duo arrangements of his latest works. Indeed, Brüll was a prominent member of Brahms's circle of musical and literary friends, many of whom he and his wife frequently entertained.
In recent years, Brüll's concert music has been revived on CD, and well received recordings are available of his piano concertos, among other non-vocal works.
