About this person
Günter Raphael was a German composer. Born in Berlin, Raphael was the grandson of composer Albert Becker. His first symphony was premiered by Wilhelm Furtwängler in 1926 in Leipzig with the Gewandhaus Orchestra. From 1926 to 1934 he taught in Leipzig, but illness and the rise of Fascism - he was declared a "half-Jew" - made this difficult for him. He received the Franz Liszt Award for composition in 1948. His students include Kurt Hessenberg and Atli Heimir Sveinsson.
