Michael O’Loghlin

Dr. Michael O´Loghlin got his education as musician und musicologist at the University of Sydney. After that he studied viola da gamba with José Vazquez in Vienna, and performance practice with Nicolaus Harnoncourt in Salzburg. He wrote his doctoral thesis on “The Viola da Gamba Music of the Berlin School, 1732-1772“ and continues to publish on this subject. He lives in Brisbane, Australia, where he plays the double bass in the well known Queensland Orchestra.

At the end of the year 2008 Michael O'Loghlin's thesis was published under the title "Frederick the Great and his Musicians - The Viola da Gamba Music of the Berlin School", ISBN 978-0-7546-5885-6, see the publisher's original announcement. It is a basic description of the music of the Berlin School, and it is not restricted to the viola da gamba. It covers the following composers and their gamba music: Johann Gottlieb Graun, Christoph Schaffrath, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann Gottlieb Janitzsch, Joseph Benedikt Zyka, Carl Heinrich Graun, Franz Benda, Carl Friedrich Abel. Also, there is a chapter about the extraordinary viola da gamba player Ludwig Christian Hesse, who inspired the above mentioned composers to write virtuoso works for the gamba. The book contains a comprehensive list of the 52 compositions for viola da gamba which can be attributed to the Berlin School, and of which many have already been published by Edition Güntersberg - if nothing else because of the support of Michael O'Loghlin.

For Edition Güntersberg he has written the introductions for almost all editions of the time of the Berlin School. In addition he also acts as editor for some important publications of this era.
