In 2018, recording of Symphony No.10 by Mahler and Symphony No.9 by Bruckner won the Best Recording of the 31th Music Pen Club Music Award. After studying music at the University of Cambridge, singing and flute at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and conducting in London, he began his career at the opera houses in Mrankfurt and Wiesbaden where he conducted all major works of the repertoire including Wagner’s complete Ring cycle. The year 1997 marked the beginning of a special relationship with Switzerland: as principal conductor of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra he took an active part in the inaugural period of the new KKL where he also performed with the Ensemble Intercontemporain founded by Pierre Boulez, and of which he was the music director from 2000 to 2003. His sixteen years as principal conductor of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra from 2000 until 2016 were filled with varied and enriching experiences: he created artist-in-residence programmes, went on several international tours with the orchestra, he received a Midem Award in 2010 for his recording of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, and he launched the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition from which have emerged some of today’s world famous conductors such as Gustavo Dudamel and Lahav Shani.

  • Ett Porträtt Av Orchestre De La Suisse Romande
    Ett porträtt av Orchestre de la Suisse Romande Orchestre de la Suisse Romande – One Century of Music Pentatone PTC5186791 [5 CD] Orchestre de la Suisse Romande bildades 1918 där syftet var att ge den fransktalande populationen i Schweiz en orkester som motpol till den dominerande tysktalande delen av landet. Den legendariske dirigenten Ernest Ansermet var grundaren av orkestern och hans kamp för att få orkestern att överleva både politiskt motstånd men även 1930-talets ekonomiska depression gjorde att han hade alla odds emot sig. På sikt lyckades orkestern att bli så etablerad som tanken var och orkestern fungerar väl än idag. I en ny box från Pentatone på 5 cd får vi höra musik framförd av orkesterns samtliga chefdirigenter. Ansermet var chef nästan 50 år mellan åren 1918–1967 och därefter har orkestern letts av följande dirigenter under betydligt kortare perioder: Paul Kletzki, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Horst Stein, Armin Jordan, Fabio Luisi, Pinchas Steinberg, Marek Janowski, Neeme Järvi och Jonathan Nott (orkesterns nuvarande chefsdirigent). Många välkända maestror har därmed haft ansvaret för orkestern genom åren men ingen så länge som grundaren själv. Denna box innehåller 19 olika verk vilket visar på den mångsidighet som finns hos orkestern. Den första skivan ägnas åt fransk musik, den andra åt tyska tonsättare, nr. 3 fokuserar på verk från 1900-talet och nr. 4 innehåller rysk musik. Den sista, den femte, ägnas åt en historisk inspelning från januari 1943, där Ansermet dirigerar Gustave Dorets ”Les Armaillis”, en dramatisk legend för solister, kör och orkester. Det något daterade ljudet ger en viss begränsning för att få en helt rättvis bild av både verk och framförande.
