Max von Schillings was a German conductor and composer, active in the late-Romantic and early twentieth-century German musical world.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears conducting Beethoven, Schubert, Weber and his own music with the Berlin State Opera Orchestra.

His recordings preserve a composer-conductor at work in the early electrical era, where older German traditions met the practical constraints of the studio.

His page is justified by historical standing and catalogue context. Schillings gives the early German orchestral shelf a composer’s baton and a period patina.
