The
BBC Philharmonic is based in Manchester where it performs regularly
in the magnificent Bridgewater Hall, while also touring all
over the world and recording programmes for BBC Radio 3. It
has built an international reputation for outstanding quality
and committed performances over an immensely wide-ranging repertoire.
Gianandrea Noseda became Principal Conductor in September 2002
when Yan Pascal Tortelier, who had been Principal Conductor
from 1991, became Conductor Laureate. Vassily Sinaisky is the
orchestra's Principal Guest Conductor, and Sir Edward Downes
(Principal Conductor 1980-91) is Conductor
Emeritus. The BBC Philharmonic has worked with many distinguished
conductors and its policy of introducing new and adventurous
repertoire into its programmes has meant that many of the world's
greatest composers have conducted the orchestra. In 1991 Sir
Peter Maxwell Davies became the BBC Philharmonic's first ever
Composer/Conductor and was succeeded in 2000 by James MacMillan. |

Through its exclusive contract with the BBC Philharmonic, Chandos
is delighted to announce that the nine symphonies are available once
again, exclusively through this website. Due to its short availability
time on BBC Radio 3, many people missed out on completing the collection
the first time round, but now will be able to complete the set.
'... this has also been the most remarkable Beethoven cycle to be heard in the UK for some time, interpreted by a conductor who has consistently shed radical new light on some of the most familiar music in the repertoire. Noseda managed to generate some of the shock and thrill that Beethoven's first audiences must have experienced on hearing this music. A truly great achievement.'
Tim
Ashley, The Guardian.**** ".for anyone who wants to introduce family or friends to the thrill of classical music, or simply to witness Beethoven driven to the edge, these should be unmissable."
David
Fanning, The Daily Telegraph. |
