Marek Janowski
Marek Janowski’s name is synonymous with the great German orchestral tradition which he interprets in the most enlightened and informed manner. Having established himself at the highest level throughout the musical world, he has also revealed an extraordinary skill in building and training orchestras and creating ensembles of world class reputation and refinement through his meticulous rehearsal technique, innovative programming and commanding musicianship. In Paris, Monte Carlo, Dresden, Berlin, and now Geneva, he has created orchestras of international standing known for the quality of their playing and depth of sound.

Maestro Janowski toured the UK in January 2008 with L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande visiting Gateshead, Manchester, Birmingham and London.

Orchestre de la Suisse Romande
One of the great orchestras of the world, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande was founded in 1918 by Ernest Ansermet, who remained in charge until 1967. In 2004 Marek Janowski joined the orchestra first as Artistic Director and then, a year later, also as Musical Director.

In January Janowski brought the OSR to the UK for the first time under his charge for a tour of the nation’s finest concert venues: The Sage at Gateshead, Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, Symphony Hall in Birmingham and the Barbican in London.

They played two programmes: Weber’s overture to Der Freischütz, Mozart’s brilliant Piano Concerto in C, No 21 (with the exciting Russian pianist Nikolai Luganski) and Berlioz’s dramatic, poignant and colourfully imaginative Symphonie Fantastique. The second programme has the Mozart piano concerto coupled with Bruckner’s gloriously statuesque Fifth Symphony.

The two programmes made readily apparent to British concertgoers how unique and extraordinary this orchestra is under the leadership of Marek Janowski.
