about
Though now lesser-known and neglected (but not of lesser quality), German baroque composer Georg Caspar Schuermann (b. 1672/73 Idensen, n. Hannover - d. 25 February, 1751 Wolfenbuettel) was once considered Bach's and Haendel's equal. He studied in Venice and Hamburg and wrote religious music, as well as a number of operas, such as Endimion (1700, Salzthal), Orlando Furioso (1722, Braunschweig) or Ludovicus Pius (1726, Braunschweig), which played a preponderant role in the history of early German dramatic music.
