Performer: Jonathan Nott

Zittern beim Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich: Ersatz-Dirigent Jonathan Nott vermochte zwar das vorgesehene Programm zu übernehmen. Aber Mahlers Lied von der Erde konnte nur durch einen Einspringer in letzter Minute gerettet werden.

Jonathan Nott leitet souverän durch Mahler und Berio mit Antoine Tamestit als Solo-Bratschist.

With a remarkably extensive season featuring a slew of major guests, and the cream of Japanese classical music talent, the TMSO has an uncanny ability to switch between musical styles on a dime. 

The English conductor talks about his bond with the storied Swiss orchestra he has helmed since 2017, and how they plan to recreate the danger of Stravinsky’s famous ballet.

Born in the small town of La Unión, the young Colombian is the newly appointed assistant conductor at Orchestre de la Suisse Romande – and is going places at speed.
