Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947)
Reynaldo Hahn was a French composer who was born in Caracas, Venezuela. Hahn studied composition with Jules Massenet (the composer of the opera Thais which contains a famous piece for violin solo called Meditation). Reynaldo Hahn first became known for his songs when he was a teenager. After 1900 he concentrated more on conducting, writing ballets, operas and operettas.
Here is a song by Reynaldo Hahn called “Le rossignol des lilas.” It is performed by mezzo-soprano Susan Graham and pianist Roger Vignoles. Enjoy!
