Hans von Bülow belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Hans von Bülow as German conductor and pianist (1830–1894).
Hans von Bülow was born at Dresden in 1830. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Saxony. He trained at Leipzig University.
This was the century of the virtuoso and the touring soloist, when a performer could become famous across a continent.
He worked as composer, pianist and conductor.
The instruments recorded are piano.
His work is classed as classical music.
He performed with Berlin Philharmonic.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
Recognition followed: Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal (1873).
That the work came out of Kingdom of Saxony shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Hans von Bülow died in 1894, aged 64. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
