Vittorio Gui

Vittorio Gui (Conductor)

Born: 14th September 1885, Rome

Died: 16th October 1975, Florence

Nationality: Italian

Vittorio Gui was an Italian conductor, composer, musicologist and critic.

Gui was born in Rome in 1885. He graduated in humanities at the University of Rome and also studied composition at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia; his principal composition teachers were the noted composers Giacomo Setaccioli and Stanislao Falchi. His style was "impressionistic with characteristic Italian traits".

Gui's opera David premiered in Rome in 1907; later that year, he made his professional conducting debut at the Teatro Adriano in Rome, leading Ponchielli's La Gioconda as a substitute. This led to invitations to conduct in Naples and Turin (he met Claude Debussy in Turin in 1911).
