Bio
Luigi Cherubini (1760–1842) was an Italian-born composer who spent most of his career in France. He produced a substantial body of sacred music, symphonies, and chamber works, but is best remembered for his operas, which were admired by Beethoven and other contemporaries. Cherubini served as director of the Paris Conservatoire from 1822 until his death, shaping the training of a generation of French musicians. His style bridged late Classical and early Romantic idioms, emphasizing dramatic intensity and contrapuntal rigor.
