Horst-Tanu Margraf

Horst-Tanu Margraf (26 October 1903 − 1978) was a German conductor, Generalmusikdirektor of Halle (Saale) from 1950 to 1969.

Margraf was a music director in Lemberg during World War II. In Halle, he was one of the founders of the Handel Festival. He conducted the Staatskapelle Halle in several operas of George Frideric Handel, some in their first modern production, such as ''Rinaldo'' in 1954. He conducted for the festival ''Radamisto'' (1955), ''Poro'' (1956), ''Admetos'' (1958), ''Giulio Cesare'' (1959) and ''Imeneo'' (1960).

"Generalmusic director" of Halle (Handel's hometown), he created a wonderful monument to his great compatriot - this is an excellent quality recording of 12 Сoncerti grossi op.6, made in 1960.

In 1966 he conducted a recording of a shortened version of ''Imeneo'' with Günther Leib in the title role, Hans-Joachim Rotzsch as Tirinto, and Sylvia Geszty as Rosmene. Provided by Wikipedia
