Life

Müller-Lampertz studied music and piano (with training as a concert pianist) at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in his native Berlin. He then worked as a pianist in various music metropolises in what was then the German Empire . From 1935 he worked as a music editor at the Hamburg broadcasting station. He was also active as a guest conductor on the radio. After the Second World War he worked as a music editor in Hamburg . From 1963 to 1975 he was the permanent conductor of the then NDR Radio Orchestra Hanover for light music . With his “elegant conducting style”, Müller-Lampertz “decisively shaped” the development of this NDR ensemble in those years. He gave important impulses to so-called “upscale popular music” in the post-war period and set interpretative accents. From 1961 he briefly led the Harry Hermann Orchestra .

As a conductor, light music , dance music , marches and marching songs, film music , musicals and Viennese waltz music were part of his repertoire. He also became known for his numerous recordings of operetta music , in which he made cross-cuts (including Die Banditen , Der Seekadett , A Night in Venice , Die Csárdásfürstin , Die chaste Susanne and Die Blume von Hawaii ), melody sequences, but also single tracks and duets with well-known Soloists ( Sonja Schöner , Sonja Knittel , Melitta Muszely , Heinz Hoppe , Donald Grobe , Horst Wilhelm and others) recorded. He also made radio recordings with Anneliese Rothenberger and conducted a concert with her in January 1948 in the Hamburg Music Hall . As a conductor he also accompanied concerts a. a. Nicolai Gedda and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (songs by Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler ). He also made a series of Gershwin recordings; with the NDR radio orchestra and the US singer Lawrence Winters , he recorded single tracks from Porgy and Bess , which were later released on LP by Philips . His musical work is documented in numerous radio recordings and on records, some of which were also re-released as CDs.

Aside from his usual repertoire, Müller-Lampertz also directed Wagner programs, for example a Wagner concert in May 1948 in the Hamburg Music Hall with the Bayreuth singers Marta Fuchs and Rudolf Bockelmann and at the Funkhaus Hannover. As a conductor, he has also performed in Switzerland and the Netherlands , where he also sometimes performed a different, more serious repertoire. He conducted a. a. the Promenade Orkest Hilversum at a concert with the clarinetist Sabine Meyer .

In December 1952, when official broadcasting with NWDR television was resumed after the Second World War, Müller-Lampertz conducted the dance play Max and Moritz by Norbert Schultze live on television .

As a composer he wrote an oboe concerto , waltzes, orchestral songs (for the bass baritone Günter Wewel ), symphonic works, the suite The Harvest and two operas, the cheerful opera Der Roßdieb (premiered in Bremen, November 1942) and Chenaux ( concert premiere under the direction of Müller-Lampertz in March 1980 in Vredenburg / Utrecht , with Grit van Jüten ). He also orchestrated and arranged numerous ballads by Carl Loewe .

Müller-Lampertz was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit and the Lower Saxony Cross of Merit 1st Class . Müller-Lampertz lived in Luhmühlen for many years; he died at the age of 72.
