Composer guitarist, was born in Berlin died in Hausham (Bayern).

English
Siegfried Behrend (born on Nov. 19, 1933) entered a Conservatory in his hometown of Berlin at the age of 16. Considering his father was a guitar professor at the same Conservatory is to no avail that he eventually averted his interest in piano, composition and conducting to guitar. As “Ambassador of German Culture,” Behrend made his debut in Leipzig when he was 20 years old and toured extensively throughout Europe as well as the Soviet Union as a champion of new music for guitar . He was able to integrate his knowledge of guitar, piano, and composition creating an avante-garde repertoire for the solo and chamber guitarist. Siegfried recorded extensively for Deutsche Gramophone and his output of compositions, arrangements and editions of music exceeds 1,000 including about 200 film scores. He was well known for his mastery of difficult modern works, many of which were written for him.
Siegfried Behrend passed away on September 20, 1990 in Hausham, Bavaria, Germany.
