Seiji Ozawa Seiji Ozawa became Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the fall of 1973. He is the thirteenth conductor of the Orchestra since its founding in 1881. He was born in Hoten, Manchuria in 1935, and studied both Western and Oriental music as a child. He attended Toho School of Music in Tokyo and graduated with first prizes in composition and conducting. Shortly after his graduation, he won first prize at the International Competition of Conducting at Besanqon, France, and was invited by Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, to spend a summer studying at Tanglewood. In 1964 and for the next five seasons, Mr. Ozawa was Music Director of the Ravinia Festival. At the beginning of the 1965-66 season he became Music Director of the Toronto Symphony, a position he relinquished four seasons later to study and guest conduct. In 1970 he accepted the position of Artistic Director of the Berkshire Music Festival, and in December of the same year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, titles that he held concurrently with his position as Music Director of the Boston Symphony. In the spring of 1976 he resigned his San Francisco position although he remained Honorary Conductor for the 1976-77 season. Mr. Ozawa's recordings include: on the Deutsche Grammophon label, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, La damnation de Faust, Romeo et Juliette (which was awarded a Grand Prix du Disque), Ives's Symphony No. 4 and Central Park in the Dark, and De Falla's Three-cornered Hat, and, on the New World Records label, Griffes's Songs of Fiona McLeod. Recordings soon to be released are: Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin Suite and Music for Percussion, Strings, and Celeste, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5, Brahms's Symphony No. 1, and Rimsky- Korsakov's Sheherazade, all on Deutsche Grammophon, and Sessions's When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd on New World Records.
