FRENCH CONCERTOS From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography Of CDs And LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Edited by Stephen Ellis Édouard Lalo (1823-1992) Born in Lille. He studied initially at the Lille Conservatory and later studied violin at the Paris Conservatory with François Antoine Habeneck and composition privately with Joseph Crèvecoeur. At first, he made his musical living as a violinist and teacher but composing would become increasingly important. He composed in various genres and his opera "Le Roi d'Ys" holds a small place on the fringes of the repertoire as does his ballet "Namouna." However, he is most often represented by his various concertos for stringed instruments including his so-called "Symphonie Espagnole."
