Carl Loewe
Born: 30th November 1796, Wettin-Lobejun
Died: 20th April 1869, Kiel
Nationality: German
Johann Carl Gottfried Loewe usually called Carl Loewe (sometimes seen as Karl Loewe), was a German composer, tenor singer and conductor from the late Classical and early Romantic periods. In his lifetime, his songs ("Balladen") were well enough known for some to call him the "Schubert of North Germany", and Hugo Wolf came to admire his work. He is less known today, but his ballads and songs, which number over 400, are occasionally performed.
