Definitely Vassily Petrenko.
No mention of Daniel Harding? He didn't 'wow' me on the one occasion (I think) I've heard him but he's got quite a career and he's only 40.Comment

Perhaps 53 is stretching the "young conductors" a bit.Originally posted by verismissimo View PostComment

I've always rated him highly. He's brilliant in partnership with soloists and like Pappano/Barenboim you'd have to be talented to have assistant to Abbado on your CV.Originally posted by Conchis View PostComment

One name not on this list (and whom I've not yet seen live) is Santtu-Matias Rouvali, just announced today as the next principal conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra:
The Philharmonia is certainly going for youth, as S-MR is but 33, but since he is co-principal guest conductor there for a while now, the orchestra clearly voted for him as a known quantity, and whom they want for the future.
It seems that several orchestras recently have gone for younger conductors as music director / chief conductor / principal conductor, after kind of speed-dating, on the basis or 1 or 2 concerts. Examples:
* Ken-David Masur, early 40s, to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra this fall
* Karina Canellakis, late 30s (?), to the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic this fall (and getting speculative, possibly in a few years to the BBC SO, if this year's First Night of the Proms is an indication)
* Anja Bihlmaier, early 40s, to the Residentie Orkest (The Hague) in 2021
* Nicholas Collon, mid 30's, to the Finnish RSO in 2021
* Joseph Young, mid 30's, to the Berkeley Symphony this fall
* Kristiina Poska, early 40's, to the Theater Basel and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra this fall
* Lorenzo Viotti, late 20's, to the Netherlands Philharmonic in 2021
* Klaus Makela, early 20's, to the Oslo Philharmonic in 2020
I can't really speak to the quality of most of these conductors, as KC and NC are the only ones whose work with orchestras that I've heard in one form or another. But at least new talent is coming along.Comment

I was impressed by Joana Carneiro, 42, ex conductor Berkeley SO and mother of triplets in John Adams earlier this week on R.3. I see that she makes her EIF debut in August conducting works by Sir Jimmy.Comment

Santtu-Matias Rouvali....

Admire this guy Darrell Ang a lot....
Apart from the new D'Indy Naxos disc I drew attention to recently there's an excellent Dutilleux record - the 2nd Symphony one of the best ever...
Especially strong in French, off-the-beaten music and Contemporary too e.g Wolfgang Rihm....
Discography more uptodate on Qobuz...
Do at least check out the Dutilleux, it's really wonderfully done. (Oddly enough the Lille band recorded No.1 later - and it's another outstanding disc - but with golden oldie Casadesus....).Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 23-05-19, 03:12.Comment

Name to watch: training in Birmingham UK - Joe Davies. Saw him in Oxford with a splendidly refreshing take on Purcell opera.Comment

According to an article in today's (London) Times, he is reported as saying: "Once you are born in Scandinavia, you belong there."Originally posted by bluestateprommer View PostOne name not on this list (and whom I've not yet seen live) is Santtu-Matias Rouvali, just announced today as the next principal conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra:

Given the comments about the use of Scandinavia/Nordic in the recent Sibelius BaL thread, I wonder if younger Finns now consider themselves Scandinavian.Comment

I was "commatose", or worse. But, full marks to a Portuguese lady who can manage triplets and persuade 100 musicians to produce crisp triplets in unison.Originally posted by oddoneout View PostComment

For me it has to be Omer Meir Wellber. Appointed as the new chief conductor of the BBC Philharmonic taking up the post in September 2019.
I've seen him conduct 'Andrea Chenier' a Bayerischen Staatsoper production at Munich, two Staatsoper stagings of 'Figaro' and 'Cosi' at Semperoper Dresden and also an orchestral concert concducting the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at Frauenkirche Dresden featuring the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and Shostakovich Symphony No. 6.
A very, very impressive conducter and I've even seen him play the accordion in the orchestra pit too.Comment

I think the first conductor I saw who was younger than me was Simon Rattle, aged 24 and sporting extremely tight trousers. Proms 1979. A very interesting three part programme with Maxwell Davies, a Javanese gamelan band, Ravel and Messiaen. linkComment

Whatever happened to him? I seem to remember he ended up conducting some European band...Originally posted by gurnemanz View Post
