He was probably the son of Franz Lachnith, a church musician in Prague, and in his youth learnt the violin, harpsichord and horn. From 1768 he was in the service of the Duke of Zweibrücken and in 1773 he received permission to travel to Paris, where he performed one of his own horn concertos at the Concert Spirituel on 28 March. Apparently he settled in Paris soon after 1780 (though remaining on the salary lists at Zweibrücken until 1786) studying the horn with Rodolphe (until obliged by ill health to discontinue) and composition with F.-A.D. Philidor. From 1781 to 1783 he appeared in the Concerts de la reine. After being exiled during the Revolution, he returned to Paris in 1801 and was appointed instructeur at the Opéra, holding this post for ten months and again from 1806 to 1816. Lachnith wrote a number of orchestral and choral works but is remembered primarily for his stage works. His first, L'heureuse réconciliation (1785), offered evidence of a sound technique but was marred by a weak libretto: ‘The result is sometimes laborious and painful, but one notices in it the ideas, appropriate intentions and intelligence of a good composer’ (Mercure de France, 26 June 1785). It was performed only twice. Several elaborate pasticcio arrangements enjoyed greater publicity, the most infamous of which was his adaptation of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte entitled Les mystères d'Isis. Lachnith not only cut and rearranged the score, adding recitative to replace the spoken dialogue, but also incorporated music from other Mozart operas and a Haydn symphony. The work acquired the nickname ‘Les misères d'ici’ and was criticized by Berlioz as a ‘wretched hotchpotch’ (Mémoires, Paris, 1870/R), although Lachnith's intentions – ‘to make a foreign comic opera worthy of the first theatre of Europe’ (see Mongrédien) – were sincere. Les mystères was certainly popular, receiving regular performances in Paris for more than 25 years, and helped familiarize French audiences with Mozart's operatic style. In collaboration with Christian Kalkbrenner, Lachnith based other pasticcios on religious subjects which were presented at the Opéra during Holy Week as oratorios en action in place of orchestral concerts. His original instrumental works include symphonies, concertos, accompanied keyboard sonatas (in a severely Classical style) and string quartets. He also arranged chamber works by Haydn and Pleyel for keyboard (sometimes with accompanying instruments) and published pedagogical essays on piano technique with J.L. Adam.
