Life

Télémaque Lambrino around 1909

Lambrino initially received his musical training from Dmitri Klimow in Odessa. Probably from the winter semester 1898/1899 he was enrolled for a year at the Royal Academy of Music in Munich, where u. a. the Liszt student Berthold Kellermann as well as Anton Beer-Walbrunn and Josef Gabriel Rheinberger were his teachers. Lambrino appeared to have moved to Leipzig at the end of 1899. From here he traveled regularly to Berlin to continue his studies with Rubinstein's student Maria Teresa Carreño .

Lambrino took over the leadership of his own master classes early on , both at the Bruno Heydrich Conservatory for Music and Theater in Halle (from February 1905, with interruptions to 1915) and at the Thuringian State Conservatory in Erfurt. After brief teaching as a professor at the Moscow Conservatory from 1908 to 1909, Lambrino finally settled in Leipzig in order to create better conditions for a career as a soloist. There he gave private lessons to a large group of students without ever belonging to the Leipzig Royal Conservatory of Music . From 1918/19 to 1924 he also taught piano training classes at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin .

Lambrino developed into one of the most sought-after pianists of his time. He toured throughout Europe and Russia from 1902 onwards. Karl Straube characterized Lambrino in an obituary with the words “He can be counted among the gifted of this century. [...] Those who come from their school can boast that they have been presented with music played down to the last movements and feelings. "

A Welte Mignon recording from 1905 of Franz Schubert's military march, edited by Carl Tausig , was preserved, as well as another one with the Etudes Op. 25 nos. 8 and 9 by Frédéric Chopin .

  4. ↑ Erich H. Müller, German Musicians Lexicon, Dresden 1929, names the years 1904 to 1908 for Erfurt. However, the State Conservatory there was not founded until 1911 by Walter Hansmann. Either Müller is wrong here or there must have been a predecessor institution. The fact that Lambrino was in contact with the Erfurt Conservatory until at least 1922 is proven by the program of a public final examination of March 31, 1922.
