Life

Feldigl came from a musical family that was very active in the church choir of the parish church of St. Andreas in Wolfratshausen. His father Max Feldigl (born July 19, 1889 in Jachenau ; † 1945), a son of Ferdinand Feldigl , directed the church choir from 1913 until his death. His mother Theresia Feldigl, called Therese, née Burger, sang in the church choir and his sister Maria (* 1929 in Wolfratshausen) accompanied them on the piano and organ, among other things.

Hans Feldigl worked as a medical corporal during the Second World War . In 1945 he married Irmengard Huber (* 1923) from Chiemsee , whom he met in 1944 while working for the medical service in Gabersee hospital . The marriage resulted in two children, a son and a daughter. After the end of the Second World War, the family moved to Wolfratshausen. In 1945 Feldigl took over the position of choir director of the church choir of the parish church of St. Andrew, which his father had directed until his death. With the church choir, he led a. a. Brahms ' choral work A German Requiem , Haydn's The Creation and almost forgotten choral works such as the Mariazeller Mass by Joseph Haydn and the Mass in D major by Otto Nicolai . In 1948 he directed the performance of the Singspiel Der Holledauer Fidel . On November 1, 1952, the performance of Haydn's Paukenmesse was broadcast on the radio . On March 1, 1953, he gave up this activity because he wanted to dedicate himself to an artistic activity as Kapellmeister at the Kiel Opera House .

At the Kiel Opera House, where he got his first engagement as a conductor at the theater in 1954, he worked as a director of studies and conductor. In the 1960/61 season Feldigl conducted the German premiere of the opera Der silberne Reiher by Ikuma Dan at the Stadttheater Kiel , with Alfred Vökt in the role of Yohyo. During his time in Kiel, from 1956 to 1961, he was also director of the Kiel Municipal Choir (now the Kiel Philharmonic Choir), which he conducted himself in several concerts. He studied at this time a dozen works, including the Missa Solemnis by Beethoven . On April 4, 1957, the Kiel Philharmonic Choir sang Joseph Haydn's oratorio Die Jahreszeiten under Feldigl's direction . On November 28, 1957, he took over the briefing of the Messa da Requiem from Giuseppe Verdi in the Nikolaikirche . Under his direction, Heinrich Sutermeister's Requiem was performed on April 24, 1960 in the Stadttheater Kiel. The highlight of his work with the Kiel Municipal Choir, he performed the Catulli Carmina by Carl Orff and Les Noces by Igor Stravinsky on June 21, 1961 . In May 1971, now firmly engaged in Dortmund , Feldigl stepped in again at short notice at a performance of Arnold Schönberg's First Psalm in Neuss as conductor of the Kiel City Choir and the North German Philharmonic.

In the 1960s and 1970s, under GMD Wilhelm Schüchter , he was engaged for more than 17 years as conductor and Kapellmeister at the Dortmund Opera House , where he was particularly committed to the music of the 20th century. In the 1965/66 season he conducted the premiere of Carl Orff's musical theater work Der Mond at the Dortmund Opera House in November 1965 . During the 1972/73 season in January 1973 he directed a new production of the opera Madama Butterfly in a production by Giancarlo del Monaco at the Dortmund Opera House . In October 1973 he conducted the opera Lucia di Lammermoor at the Dortmund Opera House in a production in German. In the 1973/74 season (premiere: June 1974) he conducted a new production of the opera The Bartered Bride at the Dortmund Opera House .

Most recently he was a lecturer at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich. From 1985 until his death in 1990 he directed the choir of Musikfreunde Isartal. The association disbanded in early 2016.
