Lamberto Landi (September 2, 1882 -July 6, 1950)[1] was an Italian composer and conductor.
Born in Lucca, he first studied at that city's Istituto Musicale before traveling to Milan; there he studied with Michele Saladino and Gaetano Coronara at the Conservatory.[2] His opera Il Pergolese, premiered in Milan in 1914,[1] was published by Sonzogno in 1913; Ricordi published it in 1920.[2] Other operas include:
- Bianca (Lucca, 1910)
- Nelly (completed 1916, premiered Lucca, 1947) - after The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens
- Laurette (Pisa, 1927)
- Gorgona (after the play by Sem Benelli)
- Nausica
The last two of these were never staged.[1] Other compositions include orchestral works, chamber music, and sacred pieces. Landi taught at the Boccherini Institute in Lucca for some years.[2] He died in Lucca.[1]
A Mass for mixed choir and orchestra has been recorded, along with an Andante for orchestra, and released on the Bongiovanni label. They are paired with a Mass and Andante religioso by Gaetano Luporini.[2]
