| __TOC__
| |
| Colonne studied at the [[Paris]] Conservatory, where he won first prizes in both harmony and violin. From 1858 to 1867 he was first violinist at the Opéra in [[Paris]]. In 1873, Colonne, along with music publisher Georges Hartmann, founded the'' Concert National'' at the ''Théâtre de l'Odéon''. Two years later, in 1875, the venue changed to the Théâtre du Châtelet, and after breaking with Hartmann, Colonne changed the name of the enterprise to the Association Artistique du Châtelet. The Association eventually became known as "Colonne Concerts". Until it ceased publication in 1880, Colonne also served as editor of the weekly '' La gazette musicale''.
| |
| | |
| He was noted for his interest in [[Berlioz]] (who was then more highly regarded in the English- and German-speaking countries than in France) and for his support of [[Wagner]]'s and [[Mahler]]'s music. He was also the first conductor of eminence to make commercial gramophone (phonograph) records (for the Pathé company, 1906).

| ==Tchaikovsky and Colonne== | |
| Colonne was the first conductor of several of Tchaikovsky's works in [[Paris]], including the symphonic fantasia ''[[The Tempest]]'', the [[Piano Concerto No. 1]] (with [[Nikolay Rubinstein]] as soloist) and the [[Symphony No. 4]]. Tchaikovsky was also the first person to whom Colonne yielded his place at the conductor's podium, and the composer had great respect for Colonne as a musician and conductor, assisting his conducting tours in [[Moscow]].
