Cesare Cantieri

Cesare Cantieri is a fictitious conductor created by Alfred Scholz, a budget label producer. He is associated with orchestras such as the Süddeutsche Philharmonic, the Philharmonia Slavonica, and the London Festival Orchestra. Cantieri's name appeared on recordings when Scholz sold the same performances to different labels under various conductor names. The recordings often included classical repertoire by composers like Mendelssohn, Beethoven, and Bruckner.

Cantieri's discography includes works like Mendelssohn's symphonies, Verdi's overtures, and Bruckner's symphonies, which are often identical to those conducted by other pseudonyms. These recordings were released under different labels, making Cantieri a part of Scholz's strategy to produce inexpensive classical music for mass distribution. Despite the extensive catalog, there is no real biographical information available about Cantieri as he is not a real person but rather a marketing tool.
