Conrado del Campo y Zabaleta

Conrado del Campo y Zabaleta^[1] (28 October 1878 – 17 March 1953) was a Spanish composer, violinist and pedagogue.

Career[]

Del Campo was born in Madrid and became professor at the Real Conservatorio de Música in Madrid in 1915, where he was an especially influential teacher.^[1] Among his pupils were Salvador Bacarisse, Julián Bautista, and Fernando Remacha. See: List of music students by teacher: C to F#Conrado del Campo.

His compositions were played in the Theatre Real of Madrid for José María Alvira. His opera Lola la Piconera made its debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, 12 December 1952. He was also the principal conductor of the Madrid Symphony Orchestra.

Del Campo was a major figure in the conservative musical climate of Franco's Spain, writing in a late Romantic style. Since his death his music has fallen into comparative oblivion.

He died in Madrid aged 74.
