Biography
Violinist and sometime conductor Wolfgang Schneiderhan was a highly versatile artist, just as much at home in the music of Hans Werner Henze as in Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert. Never quite a household name, he was nevertheless active in every aspect of Austria's music scene and was widely admired for the depth of his interpretive abilities. In 1948, Schneiderhan married Irmgard Seefried and often performed with her over their 40-year marriage. He co-founded the Lucerne Festival Strings in 1956 and also taught at the Lucerne Music Academy. Much in demand as a teacher in his later years, Schneiderhan continued to live in Vienna, where he died on May 18, 2002. Since his death, many of his recordings have appeared in archival reissues. Among these, in 2019, was his recording of Schubert's piano trios with cellist Boris Pergamenschikow and pianist Paul Badura-Skoda., Rovi
