Robin TicciatiAbout
The scandalous story of the insatiable Don Juan forms the inspiration for a tone poem which is rich in imagination and dramatic flourishes. Tod und Verklärung is further testament to Strauss’s vivid imagination; his exploration of the mystery of death and what may follow was written when he was only twenty-five.
Ticciati is a consummate Straussian, as his triumphant Rosenkavalier at Glyndebourne demonstrated, and his complete control of phrase shape and dynamics delivers performances of tremendous power and lucidity.
Soprano Louise Alder joins Ticciati and the DSO to record what she describes as ‘a fiendish but beloved cycle of Strauss songs’: Sechs Lieder, op.68, affectionately known as the Brentano Lieder.
The is released to coincide with Ticciati’s fourth season as Music Director of the DSO.
Robin Ticciati has been Music Director of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin since 2017 and Music Director of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera since 2014. He was Principal Conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra from 2009 to 2018.
Ticciati is a regular guest conductor with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Budapest Festival Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra of Europe.
“A heart-on-sleeve performance …. [Ticciati] embraced Strauss’s epic, operatic flamboyance without a shred of self-conscious indulgence.” – Classical Source
“When you consider that Robin Ticciati only entered Berlin two years ago and he is still in his mid-30s, it is impressive what he has achieved.” – Politiken
“Alder turns in an incandescent, richly coloured performance which confirms her as the brightest lyric soprano of the younger generation.” – The Arts Desk
