Claudio Brindis de Salas Garrido (''Claudio José Domingo Brindis de Salas Garrido'', Havana, Cuba, 4 August 1852 – Buenos Aires, Argentina 1 June 1911) was a Cuban concert violinist. His father was the violinist and bandleader, Claudio Brindis de Salas. The son surpassed his father, and was a violinist of world renown.〔Orovio, Helio 1981. ''Diccionario de la música cubana''. La Habana. p60〕〔Guillén, Nicolás 1935. ''Brindis de Salas: el rey del octavos''. La Habana.〕〔Giro, Radamés 2007. ''Diccionario encyclopédico de la música en Cuba''. vol 1, La Havana. p161〕 He studied under his father, and then with maestros José Redondo and the Belgian José Van der Gutch (who lived in Havana). In 1863 he first performed in public, in Havana, with Van der Gutch as accompanist. Ignacio Cervantes also played at the same function. In 1864 he toured with his father and his brother José del Rosario in the Cuban cities of Matanzas, Cárdenas, Cienfuegos and Güines; in 1869 to Veracruz, México. He went from México to Paris, to study under Hubert Léonard and Charles Dancla, and gained entry to Conservatoire de Paris, where he won first prize in 1871. He then toured Florence, Turin and Milan, where he played at La Scala. His tours in Europe brought great critical and public enthusiasm. In 1875 he returned to the Americas, and was appointed director of the ''Conservatoire de Haiti''. He played in Cuba in Havana (1878) and Santiago de Cuba, then to Veracruz again and México City, where he performed Mendelssohn's Concerto for violin and orchestra. In later years he played in St Petersberg (1881), New York (1887), Barcelona (1889), Santo Domingo (1895), San Juan, Puerto Rico, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (1996), Tenerife (1902), Ronda, Spain (1911), and ended his career in Argentina.〔These tours were puntuated with returns and concerts in Cuba, mainly Havana.〕 Claudio composed a few works, but he was primarily a concert performer, and to judge from critical notices, one of the best in the world at that time. Carpentier called him ''"the most extraordinary of the black musicians of the nineteenth century... an unprecedented case in the musical history of the continent"''.〔Carpentier, Alejo 2001 (). ''Music in Cuba''. Minneapolis MN. p162〕 The French government made him a member of the Légion d'Honneur, and gave him the title of ''Baron''. In Buenos Aires he was given a genuine Stradivarius; when he stayed in Berlin, he married a German woman, was appointed chamber musician to the Emperor, and became a German citizen. He died in 1911, now in poverty, from tuberculosis in Buenos Aires. In 1930 his remains were transferred to Havana with great honours. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claudio Brindis de Salas Garrido」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
