Halle OrchestraConductor
Cristian MandealAbout
Cristian Mandeal was appointed the first ever Principal Guest Conductor in the Halle’s 150 year history. Having studied with Herbert von Karajan in Berlin and with Sergiu Celibidache in Munich, Mandeal is now in demand across Europe. A frequent Guest Conductor with many of the great orchestras in Germany, he specializes in the Central European and core Germanic symphonic repertoire, including the works of Bruckner.
Mandeal’s work is characterized with great theatricality, deep musicality and sizzling technical skill and he brings this to bear very dramatically in this dark and moving work.
Bruckner’s 9th Symphony, dedicated by the devoutly Roman Catholic composer ‘dem lieben Gott’ (to dear God), remained incomplete when he died in 1896. It was intended to be his magnum opus, the summing up of his life’s achievement, and it’s hard to resist the impression that the prospect of death left a deep imprint on the character of this symphony.
"[Mandeal] had the orchestra playing with drive, energy and sheer joie de vivre...the Halle in supreme form under Mandeal's expressive yet unfussy guidance. He is a conductor who demonstrably lives the music." - Philip Radcliffe, Manchester Evening News
"Mandeal drew playing of warmth and flair, imposing a wholeness of musical vision that accommodated plenty of thrills and some shattering climaxes." - Lynne Walker, The Independent
