Felix Weingartner (1863-1942) was a musician who excelled as a conductor, composer, and pianist. Weingartner transformed the notes of Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler into living, breathing narratives. He crafted symphonies like the powerful and lyrical Symphony No.2 in E-flat major, Op.29. His operas sparkled with wit and charm, such as the delightful Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor, based on Shakespeare's comedy. The Serenata for String Quartet, Op.45. Even within the concise beauty of the song form, Weingartner excelled, setting poetry to music with a sensitive touch, evident in the collection of 16 Lieder, Op. 71.
