Charles-Louis Hanssens (1802 - 1871) was a Belgian composer. The nephew of Charles-Louis-Joseph Hanssens , he became, at the age of ten, second cello at the National Theater of Amsterdam. In 1822 he became its conductor. In 1824, he went to Brussels where he settled after a few stays in Holland, Ghent and Paris. It was in 1848 that he received the post of musical director of the Théâtre de la Monnaie. It was about 1850 that Charles-Louis Hanssens made contact with Richard Wagner and made plans to perform Lohengrin in Brussels. The plan was realized in 1870 and marked the beginning of the craze of Belgian composers for the "music of the future". According to François-Joseph Fétis, his "inflexible conscience did not compromise with the fancies of fashion". Hanssens composed 8 operas, including The Siege of Calais (1861) and Marie de Brabant, 15 ballets, choral music, a Requiem (1837), symphonic, concertante, and chamber music. He was not very anxious to publish his works. He also created a pension fund, "the Association of Artists-Musicians". He received his initiation to Freemasonry at the Ghent Lodge of "La Felicite Bienfaisante". Then, in 1862, he joined " The true friends of union and progress united " in Brussels.

The city of the orchestra in this performance is Zilina, as in the description, not Zilma, as in the video. Also, the key in the description and title has been corrected, as it has been confirmed that it is E-flat, not E Major.
