Allegro moderato 13:04 Xenia Jancovic Christoph Richter, cellos Hannover Radio Philharmonic Orchestra Bjarte Engeset, conductor Julius Klengel (1859-1933) was the son of a lawyer, a fine amateur musician who was a close friend of Mendelssohn. His family had, for many generations, been professional musicians. Klengel first studied cello with his father, and then with Emil Hegar, principal cellist in the Gewandhaus Orchestra, and a pupil of Friedrich Grützmacher and Karl Davydov. At 15 he became a member of the Gewandhaus Orchestra, and at 22 (1881) became principal there. Also in 1881 he was appointed a professor at the Leipzig Conservatory. He remained with the orchestra until 1924. To celebrate his 50 years of service, Wilhelm Fürtwangler conducted a jubilee concert with Klengel playing the principal cello part in a double concerto he had composed for the occasion. He often concertized in Russia, and gave the first Russian performance of the Haydn D Major Concerto in 1887. Klengel was not only a cellist, but a fine pianist. It was well known that he could accompany his pupils on the piano, playing everything from memory. His knowledge of chamber music was vast, and he knew every part of each instrument in all the standard repertoire. Klengel was in close contact with Brahms, Rubenstein, Reger and other composers of his era, and composed much himself. He wrote 4 cello concertos, 2 double cello concertos, and 2 more for cello and violin. He also wrote a cello sonata, caprices, and the "Hymn for Twelve Cellos," dedicated to the memory of the conductor Artur Nikisch. His students included Feuermann, Suggia, Grummer, Piatigorsky and Pleeth.
