Thomas de Hartmann, born in Ukraine in 1885, was a prolific composer and pianist whose music is only now gaining the recognition it deserves. A student of renowned composers Anton Arensky and Sergei Taneyev, de Hartmann's early fame was rooted in Russia, where he composed a diverse range of works including four symphonies, several operas, concertos, sonatas, and songs set to texts by literary giants like Marcel Proust and Paul Verlaine. His compositions, which span various genres, reflect his deep musical knowledge and artistic versatility. Despite his significant contributions, de Hartmann's music remained largely undiscovered for decades. Today, efforts by dedicated volunteers through The Thomas de Hartmann Project are bringing his rich musical legacy to light, inviting listeners to explore the profound and evocative works of this Ukrainian-born maestro.
