Stolze, Kurt-Heinz
Kurt-Heinz Stolze (26 January 1926 – 12 August 1970) was a German pianist, harpsichordist and composer. Kurt-Heinz Stolze composed or arranged the music for Cranko’s ballets Wir reisen nach Jerusalem (1963), L’Estro Armonico (1963, after Antonio Vivaldi), The Taming of the Shrew (Der widerspenstigen Zähmung) (1969; to the Shakespeare story; music based on sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti), and Kyrie eleison(1968; based on music by Bach). However, he is perhaps best known for the ballet Onegin (1965), based on Alexander Pushkin's verse play Eugene Onegin, for which Stolze used the music of Tchaikovsky, but not a note from Tchaikovsky’s opera of the same name. Instead, he orchestrated some little-known piano works by Tchaikovsky such as The Seasons, along with themes from the opera Cherevichki and the latter part of the symphonic fantasia Francesca da Rimini. He also produced Cranko’s Swan Lake and Les Sylphides and worked in radio and cinema. [source from Wikipedia]
