Henri Sauguet (1901–1989), one of my 'discoveries' in recent years - thanks to you, I guess.  ;)

Indeed! The composer of the moving 'Expiatoire' Symphony.
Well done.

Good idea!  :D Another cat-loving mystery composer:

Another leading composer of an emerging national school of music. Wrote symphonies and symphonic poems; the most famous of the latter consisting of eight variations on an original Arabic theme, one them in the form of a 59 part fugue, and considered a 'national musical breakthrough' around WWI.  :)

Is it Vathek?
If so, he should be Luís de Freitas Branco.
I have a Naxos CD with some of his music, but the variations are only five (+ an introduction, theme, prologue and epilogue)

He is: older brother of the perhaps - in his time - more famous conductor, Pedro de Freitas Branco.

Lookalike of Generalissimo De Gaulle? I would rather say Clint Eastwood:

For example: is the man an Italian composer?

Bravo!

Just listened live in concert to his Requiem aeternam and Kyrie from the Messa per Rossini.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.

I was just extremely lucky! I first tried Antonio Bazzini and lo and behold! in the third row, the picture of your man!  :D

My turn then.

Studied in Leipzig. Besides composing, was also a conductor. He is remembered mostly for his ballets, a genre he pioneered in his country.
