Driven by a great musical enthusiasm beginning with the baroque and continuing through to today’s music, Conductor Andrew Manze commands an astonishing repertoire and an extraordinary communicative talent that has enabled him to make many friends in orchestras as well as with the public. He received the prestigious Rolf Schock Prize in Stockholm in 2011, an honor bestowed on musicians of the rank of György Ligeti, Maurizio Kagel, Kaija Saariaho, Jorma Panula, Gidon Kremer, and Anne Sofie von Otter before him. This recording of Sweden’s Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra contains previously unheard interpretations of the Brahms symphonies.
