Hans Zanotelli was a German conductor born on August 23, 1927, in Cronenberg (now part of Wuppertal), Germany. He studied under the notable conductor Hans Swarowsky and had a significant career leading various orchestras. Zanotelli is known for his recordings of classical repertoire, including Mozart's *Don Giovanni* excerpts sung in German, and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 with pianist Ernst Gröschel and the Bamberger Symphoniker. Throughout his career, he worked on a wide array of classical music projects and gained recognition in the German classical music scene. He passed away on July 12, 1993, in Stuttgart, Germany.
Zanotelli's name also appears in connection with recordings produced by Alfred Scholz under the "Süddeutsche Philharmonie," though there is some debate about whether Zanotelli actually conducted all of these sessions. His contributions remain appreciated among classical music enthusiasts, especially for his interpretations of baroque and classical works. Overall, Zanotelli is remembered as a dedicated conductor with a solid legacy in 20th-century German classical music.
