瑞典作曲家Wilhelm Stenhammar(1871-1927)

卡尔·威尔海姆·欧根·斯丹哈默（瑞典语：Carl Wilhelm Eugen Stenhammar，1871年2月7日－1927年11月20日)，瑞典作曲家，指挥家，钢琴家。早年在柏林学习，后长时间担任哥德堡管弦乐团指挥。他是20世纪初最重要的瑞典作曲家之一，作品继承了瓦格纳的风格，规模宏大，结构严谨，并带有明显的北欧音乐色彩。

Carl Wilhelm Eugen Stenhammar (February 7, 1871 – November 20, 1927) was a Swedish composer, conductor and pianist.

Stenhammar was born in Stockholm, where he received his first musical education. He then went to Berlin to further his studies in music. He became a glowing admirer of German music, particularly that of Richard Wagner and Anton Bruckner. Stenhammar himself described the style of his First Symphony in F major as "idyllic Bruckner".^[1] He subsequently sought to emancipate himself and write in a more "Nordic" style, looking to Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius for guidance. The latter's Symphony No. 2, especially, had a great effect on him, leading him to change his style and refuse to refer to his First Symphony as anything but a trivial piece.

From 1906 to 1922 he was Artistic Director and chief conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony, the first full-time professional orchestra in Sweden. In this capacity, he organised many performances of music by contemporary Scandinavian composers. Briefly, in 1909, he held the position of director of music at Uppsala University, where he was succeeded the following year by Hugo Alfvén.

Wilhelm Stenhammar died of a stroke at 56 years of age in Jonsered in the historic province of Västergötland. He is buried in Gothenburg.
