Bernhard Heinrich Romberg
(Dinklage, 13 November 1767 - Hamburg, 13 August 1841)
German cellist and composer son of the bassoonist and cellist Bernhard Anton Romberg (1742-1814). He learnt the cello from his father before begin his career in Munster when he appeared with his cousin Andreas Jakob Romberg (1767-1821) at age 7; they toured with their fathers thereafter, making visits to Frankfurt am Main (1782) and Paris (1784, 1785). After playing in the Bonn electoral orchestra (1790-93), they fled in the face of the French invasion and went to Hamburg, where they were members of the opera orchestra at the Ackermann Theater; they then toured Italy (1795-96) and visited Vienna (1796), where they became friends of Joseph Haydn. After further travels in Italy and another visit to Paris (1801), the cousins pursued separate careers. Bernhard Heinrich visited Spain in 1801, served as professor of cello at the Paris Conservatory (1801-03), and then joined the Berlin Royal Court Orchestra (1805). He visited Russia in 1807 and England in 1814, and was Berlin Hofkapellmeister (1816-19). In 1820 he went to Hamburg, which he made his home with the exception of another Berlin sojourn (1826-31); also made extensive tours as a virtuoso. He published 'Methode de violoncelle' (Berlin, 1840). As a composer, his works include two motets, six stage works (some monodramas), numerous Lieder, nine symphonies, 19 concertos (mainly violin and cello), 50 rondos for strings and piano, 11 string quartets, six trios, and a number of keyboard works. He had two children who pursued musical careers: Bernhardine Romberg (1803-1878), a concert singer, and Karl Romberg (1811-1897), a cellist in the St. Petersburg German Opera orchestra (1830-42).
