Die Rose vom Liebesgarten is a 1900 opera by Hans Pfitzner to a libretto by James Grun, one of Pfitzner's fellow students at the Frankfurt Conservatory, which had been prompted by an 1890 painting by Hans Thoma "Der Wächter vor dem Liebesgarten".
The Symphony in C is an early work by the French composer Georges Bizet.
 According to "Grove's Dictionary", the symphony "reveals an extraordinarily accomplished talent for a 17-year-old student, in melodic invention, thematic handling and orchestration."
 Bizet started work on the symphony in C major on 29 October 1855, four days after turning 17, and finished it roughly a month later.
 It was written while he was studying at the Paris Conservatoire under the composer Charles Gounod, and was evidently a student assignment.
 Bizet showed no apparent interest in having it performed or published, and the piece was never played in his lifetime.
 He used certain material from the symphony in later works, however.
 There is no mention of the work in Bizet's letters, and it was unknown to his earlier biographers.
 His widow, Geneviève Halévy (1849–1926), gave the manuscript to Reynaldo Hahn, who left it along with other papers to the archives of the conservatory library, where it was found in 1933 by Jean Chantavoine.
 Soon thereafter, Bizet's first British biographer Douglas Charles Parker (1885–1970) showed the manuscript to the conductor Felix Weingartner, who led the first performance in Basel, Switzerland, on 26 February 1935.
Das Christ-Elflein ("The Little Elf of Christ") is an opera in two acts by Hans Pfitzner to a German-language libretto by Pfitzner and Ilse von Stach.
 The work was originally premiered in 1906 as a Christmas play by von Stach with incidental music by Pfitzner.
 It was later revised by the composer into a two-act opera (the version performed today) which premiered in Dresden on 11 December 1917.
Hans Erich Pfitzner (5 May 1869 – 22 May 1949) was a German composer and self-described anti-modernist.
 His best known work is the post-Romantic opera "Palestrina", loosely based on the life of the sixteenth-century composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina.
Fritz Schaetzler (May 13, 1898 – February 3, 1994) was a German baritone and "Kammersänger."
 He studied under Anna Bahr-Mildenburg.
 From 1919 to 1922, he was engaged at the Nationaltheater München; from 1922-1947, he was engaged at the Staatsoper Stuttgart.
 Concealing physical disabilities, including an amputated leg and a paralyzed hand, that resulted from injuries suffered during the Second Battle of Flanders, he performed throughout Europe (Prague, Bordeaux, Oslo et al.).
 Over the course of his career, he collaborated with prominent conductors and composers of the era (Hans Knappersbusch, Clemens Krauss, Bruno Walter, Wilhelm Furtwaengler, Richard Strauss, Hans Pfitzner, Carl Orff, Ernst Krenek et al.).
 Roles included Wolfram, Beckmesser, Figaro, Rigoletto, Tonio.
Luise Willer (1888–1970) was a German operatic contralto.
 She made her professional opera debut in 1910 as Annius in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "La clemenza di Tito".
 She spent most of her career performing at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich.
 At the Bayreuth Festival, she portrayed Brängane in "Tristan und Isolde".
 She created roles in several world premieres during her career, including Barbara in Erich Wolfgang Korngold's "Violanta" (1916), Lukrezia in Hans Pfitzner's "Palestrina" (1917), Graben-Liese in Franz Schreker's "Das Spielwerk" (1920), and Herzogin in Pfitzner's "Das Herz" (1931) among others.
Georges Bizet (] ; 25 October 18383 June 1875), registered at birth as Alexandre César Léopold Bizet, was a French composer of the romantic era.
 Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, "Carmen", which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.
The Symphony in C "Roma" is the second of Georges Bizet's symphonies.
 Unlike his first symphony, also in C major, which was written quickly at the age of 17, "Roma" was written over an eleven-year span, between the ages of 22 and 33 (he died at age 36).
 Bizet was never fully satisfied with it, subjecting it to a number of revisions, but died before finishing his definitive version.
 All four movements were performed in his lifetime, but never all on the same occasion.
 The full symphony in its latest revision was premiered in 1875, after his death.
 It is perhaps because of Bizet's dissatisfaction that the work is often said to be "unfinished".
 However, in the form in which it exists today, it is a complete work and is fully scored.
 It has been recorded a number of times but is not often heard on the concert platform.
Carmen Suite is a one-act ballet created in 1967 by Cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso to music by Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin for his wife, prima ballerina assoluta Maya Plisetskaya.
 The premiere took place on 20 April 1967 at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow.
 The music, taken from the opera "Carmen" by Georges Bizet and arranged for strings and percussion, is not a 19th-century pastiche but rather "a creative meeting of the minds," as Shchedrin put it, with Bizet's melodies reclothed in a variety of fresh instrumental colors (including the frequent use of percussion), set to new rhythms and often phrased with a great deal of sly wit.
 Initially banned by the Soviet hierarchy as "disrespectful" to the opera for precisely these qualities, the ballet has since become Shchedrin's best-known work and has remained popular in the West for what reviewer James Sanderson calls "an iconoclastic but highly entertaining retelling of Bizet's opera."
Alma Templeton Moodie (12 September 18987 March 1943) was an Australian violinist who established an excellent reputation in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.
 She was regarded as the foremost female violinist during the inter-war years, and she premiered violin concertos by Kurt Atterberg, Hans Pfitzner and Ernst Krenek.
 She and Max Rostal were regarded as the greatest proponents of the Carl Flesch tradition.
 She became a teacher at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt.
 However, Alma Moodie made no recordings, and she appears in very few reference sources.
 Despite her former renown, her name became virtually unknown for many years.
 She appeared in earlier editions of Grove's and Baker's Dictionaries, but does not appear in the more recent editions.
