Hermann Bischoff (7 January 1868 in Duisburg – 25 January 1936 in Berlin)[1] was a German composer of classical music.
After leaving Leipzig to continue his first studies of music, he met Richard Strauss and fell in with his circle.[2]
Bischoff's two symphonies have been recorded on the record label Classic Produktion Osnabrück, along with a 1926 Introduction und Rondo. His first symphony, dedicated to Strauss[3] was performed (premiered?) in Essen on 24 May 1906, as part of the 42nd Tonkünstler-Festival, the same festival that saw the premiere of Gustav Mahler's Sixth Symphony.[4]
