Adolf Vogl (composer)
Adolf Vogl (Munich, 18 December 1873 – Munich, 2 February 1961) was a German composer and writer on music.
Life and politics
The son of opera singers Heinrich and Therese Vogl, Adolf Vogl was closely associated with the Wagnerian circles in Bayreuth and studied with Hermann Levi.[1] His music is strongly imitative of Wagner, and he wrote several works of music criticism arguing for a racist–German nationalist interpretation of Wagner's music dramas.[2]
Vogl was one of the earliest members of the German Workers' Party (Nr. 940).[3] His works experienced a revival of popularity during the early years of the Nazi government, and his new opera Die Verdammten, with a libretto by Hanns von Gumppenberg, was premiered in Leipzig on 21 January 1934.[4]
