Reznicek
Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek (1860-1945) was an Austrian composer and conductor. Born in Vienna, he worked in several German-speaking musical centres and became known for opera, orchestral music and chamber works.
His best-known work is the opera Donna Diana, especially its sparkling overture. He also wrote symphonies, tone poems, songs and other stage works.
