Info for Bruckner: Symphony No. 7



In collaboration with Platoon, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin is celebrating the 200th anniversary of Anton Bruckner's birth with the release of the composer's monumental Symphony No. 7, conducted by Vladimir Jurowski.

Unfinished Wagner: Bruckner was closer than others. On the other side. He composed the famous Adagio after he had allegedly foreseen Wagner's death. While he was working on the second movement, he actually received the news of Wagner's death. He then decided to introduce the four Wagner tubas into the score.

Vladimir Jurowski
has been chief conductor and artistic director of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin since autumn 2017. He has also held the position of General Music Director of Munich’s Bayerische Staatsoper since 2021, one of the most prestigious roles in German musical life.

One of today’s most sought-after conductors, acclaimed worldwide for his incisive musicianship and adventurous artistic commitment, Vladimir Jurowski was born in Moscow in 1972, and completed the first part of his musical studies at the Music College of the Moscow Conservatory. In 1990 he relocated with his family to Germany, continuing his studies at the Musikhochschule of Dresden and Berlin, studying conducting with Rolf Reuter and vocal coaching with Semion Skigin. In 1995 he made his international debut at the Wexford Festival conducting Rimsky-Korsakov’s “May Night”, and the same year saw his debut at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden with Nabucco.

He was then First Kapellmeister of the Komische Oper Berlin (1997-2000). In the UK, he was Music Director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera from 2001 to 2013, leading a wide range of highly acclaimed productions. In 2021 Vladimir Jurowski stepped down from his highly-acclaimed fifteen year tenure as of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, to become their Conductor Emeritus. His close connection to British musical life was recognized by King Charles III in the spring of 2024 when he appointed Vladimir Jurowski Honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE). In 2016, he received an honorary doctorate from the Royal Philharmonic Society. In 2020, Vladimir Jurowski’s work as Artistic Director of the George Enescu Festival was honoured by the Romanian President with the Order of Cultural Merit.

Until 2021 he was Artistic Director of the State Academic Symphony Orchestra “Yevgeny Svetlanov” of the Russian Federation and Principal Artist of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in Great Britain, as well as Artistic Director of the George Enescu International Festival in Bucharest (2017 – 2021). He has also worked with the unitedberlin ensemble for many years. Vladimir Jurowski has suspended performances in Russia since February 2022. Ukrainian works are and will remain part of his repertoire, as will works by Russian composers.

Vladimir Jurowski has conducted concerts with the leading orchestras in Europe and North America, including the Berlin, Vienna and New York Philharmonics, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras, the Boston and Chicago symphony orchestras, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden and the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig. He is a regular guest at the music festivals in London, Berlin, Dresden, Lucerne, Schleswig-Holstein and Grafenegg.
