Thomas SondergardAbout
Strauss demands uncompromising virtuosity from both the orchestra and the horn player who is tasked with portraying the bold hero. Following a concert performance of Ein Heldenleben in March 2018 The Scotsman stated: “From the swaggering confidence of Strauss’s bounding heroic theme to the gleefully grotesque carpings of his critics, Søndergård delivered a bold, utterly committed account – this is clearly music that matters to him.” Closing the recording is the concert suite from Der Rosenkavalier in which Strauss’s colourful and evocative orchestration recalls many favourite moments from his most popular opera.
At the start of the 2018-19 season Danish conductor Thomas Søndergård extended his role with the RSNO to Music Director, after six seasons as Principal Guest Conductor. He served as Principal Conductor of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales from 2012-18 and, prior to this, as Principal Conductor and Musical Advisor of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra for three seasons. Søndergård has conducted many leading orchestras and is also an experienced opera conductor, at home in mainstream and contemporary repertoire.
The RSNO plays an integral part in Scotland’s musical life and appears regularly at the Edinburgh International Festival, the BBC Proms and the St Magnus International Festival, Orkney. The orchestra has a worldwide reputation for the quality of its recordings, receiving two Diapason d’or de l’année awards and eight Grammy Award nomination
“The sure ticket among orchestral performances these days in Scotland is anything involving Thomas Søndergård and the RSNO. The chemistry - nurtured during his days as principal guest conductor, and now explosive in his key role as musical director – is electrifying.” – The Scotsman
“Ein Heldenleben…is an opportunity to hear a huge orchestra at fullstretch that should not be missed. The work is also being recorded for a new disc, which is an important statement of intent from incoming music director Thomas Søndergård.” – The Herald
