Paul Collaer
Paul Collaer (Boom, 8 June 1891 - Brussels, 10 December 1989) was a Belgian musicologist, pianist, and conductor of Flemish background. Through concerts and radio broadcastings, he played an important role in the popularization of 20th century music in Belgium. An early proponent of period instruments practice, he dedicated his last years to ethnomusicology. Life Collaer was born in a musical family. His parents, teachers and music lovers, raised him in Mechelen where he studied piano and harmony at the local music school (later renamed a conservatory). He also studied chemistry, receiving a doctorate from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (1909-1914). Collaer was an avid follower of Belgian musical life, attending operas at the theatre of La Monnaie, and concerts at the ''Concerts du Conservatoire'', the ''Concerts Ysaÿe'', and the ''Concerts Populaires''. From 1911, encouraged by his piano teacher Émile Bosquet, who was an early music lover, Collaer gave a dozen lecture-r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
