Info

Rudolf Lamp was born on 20th October, 1905 in Vienna. His father Josef was Hungarian, his mother, who died shortly after Rudolf's birth, was Austrian. In 1910 his father brought him to Velké near Milevsko (Bohemia). His half brother Reddi gave young Rudolf a clarinet as a present in 1917. Bandleader František Říha tought him how to play this instrument and after only one year he played in Říha's band. Later, he learned flugelhorn and accordion. At the age of 14 Lamp composed his first songs, which were successful like the waltz "Chudé mládí".

In 1927 Lamp moved to Prague, where he was added to the list of OSA, the Czech collection society and his songs were published by the well-known publishing house Grando. Some of his compositions were even recorded on gramophone record, e.g. the "Liberecká "Polka" oder his waltz "Odešel krásný sen". Lamp's pieces were also popular with orchestras.
