Description:
The Bavarian State Orchestra is one of the world's leading orchestras, awarded many international prizes and characterized by great conductors. At the same time, it is one of the oldest orchestras of all, celebrating its 500th anniversary in 2023 with many concerts and this opulent book.
The anniversary book traces the development of the orchestra from a ducal court chapel around 1523 to a large, versatile opera and symphony orchestra. It contains in-depth articles by prominent authors, current reports and attractive and little-known visual material on selected aspects of the orchestra's history, which is closely linked to important figures in European music history. Whether Orlando di Lasso, Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss or the general music directors of more recent times: they have all shaped the orchestra's self-image and its extraordinary sound culture to this day.
The editor
Florian Amort is a dramaturge at the Bregenz Festival and works as a music journalist for various media outlets, including the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the music magazine "crescendo" and Deutschlandfunk.
