Douard Lalo

douard Victoire Antoine Lalo (January 27, 1823 - April 22, 1892) was a French composer of Spanish descent. He was born in Lille, France and studied at the conservatoire there and then at the Paris Conservatoire under Franois Antoine Habeneck. He worked as a violinist (particularly playing chamber music) and teacher in Paris before gaining fame as a composer. He died in Paris. Although Lalo is a lesser known 19th-century composer, his Symphonie Espagnole for violin and orchestra enjoys a prominent place in violinists' repertoire. He is also known for other solo works, including his Cello Concerto in D minor, and for his opera "Le roi d'Ys" (premiered 1888). His work is notable for strong melodies and colourful orchestration.
