About the Conductor
Sir Simon
Rattle
With
his captivating charisma, deep enthusiasm, great love of experimentation and meticulous
artistic seriousness, it is no surprise that the Liverpool-born Sir Simon
Rattle is one of the most fascinating conductors
of our time. He first conducted the BR Chorus and
the BRSO in 2010. This developed into an intensive collaboration, and his performances
in Munich have always been true highlights. In 2023, the 71-year-old Brit with
a German passport took over as Chief Conductor of the orchestra he has admired since
his youth. He is equally passionate about music education, and challenging
projects with the BRSO Academy, of which he is patron, are just as important
to him as broader-impact projects that bring together professional and amateur
musicians. These include the “Symphonischer Hoagascht” in 2024 and “Singen mit
Sir Simon(Singing with Sir Simon)” in July 2026.
Simon
Rattle has received numerous high honours, including the Ernst von Siemens
Music Prize in May 2025. Several of his CDs released with the BRSO have received
awards: Mahler's Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Symphonies received a Gramophone
Editor's Choice; the Sixth was included in the German Record Critics' Award
list of the best recordings; the Seventh was awarded the Diapason d'or de
l‘année and a Presto Award; and his recording of Haydn's The Creation received
a Pizzicato Supersonic Award. At the Gramophone Classical Music Awards 2025,
Simon Rattle was honored as Artist of the Year.
About the Orchestra
Symphonieorchester
des Bayerischen Rundfunks
With the 2023/24 season, the
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks (BRSO) welcomed its new principal
conductor: Sir Simon Rattle. As the sixth Chief Conductor in the line of
important orchestra leaders after Eugen Jochum, Rafael Kubelík, Sir Colin Davis, Lorin Maazel and
Mariss Jansons, he is a conductor personality of great openness to new artistic
paths.
The
BRSO has received many awards for its extensive recording activities, such as
Grammy, the Diapason d’or and the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
Simon Rattle has already added important milestones to the discography,
including works by Mahler and Wagner.
Another
focus of the BRSO is the promotion of young musicians. The BRSO Academy, one of
the most renowned training facilities of its kind, and the ARD International
Music Competition, which was founded in 1952, are dedicated to this. Music
education “BRSO und du” also plays an important role in the orchestra’s program
with various formats and offers for schools and families with children.
In an orchestra ranking by Bachtrack, the world’s leading website for classical music events for which internationally renowned music critics were asked about “The world’s greatest orchestra,” the BRSO came in third place in 2023.
