Biography
Trained as a flautist, Dutch musicologist Frans Brüggen (1934-2014) specialized in music history and early instruments, becoming a world-renowned teacher in the 1970s. Professor at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and Harvard University in the USA, he put his knowledge and experience to good use as a conductor, founding the Orchestre du XVIIIème siècle in 1981. Participating in the revival of interest in Baroque music, Frans Brüggen gained notoriety performing works by Bach, Rameau, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and more contemporary works by Luciano Berio, with the Sourcream ensemble. The master, who led prestigious orchestras in Vienna and Berlin, as well as the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, died in his native Amsterdam on August 13, 2014, aged 79.
