He sang in the choir of his native Gloucester Cathedral and studied at Cambridge University and the Royal Academy of Music in London. While still a student, he became music director of the Wokingham Choral Society, and has studied as a chorépteur at the Salzburg Festival and assistant to Mark Elder at the Halle Orchestra, and became music director of the touring Glideborn, a gateway to success for young conductors. He was also appointed Music Director of the English National Opera. He is currently Principal Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. He is a true professional conductor who has come up from choral conducting and choreography to perform both opera and concert music. He is a gem of a British conductor, and is often called the post-Rattle conductor. He has the appearance of an upper-middle-class English nobleman, and his precise music making is very attractive. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2001, and some say he will soon be knighted. This is a piece of music and performance that will move your appetite for more.\n\nLPO\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Allegro maestoso2.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Poco adagio3.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Scherzo: Vivace - Poco meno mosso4.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Finale: Allegro5.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Sostenuto assai - Allegro ma non troppo6.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Scherzo: Allegro vivace7.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Adagio espressivo8.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Allegro molto vivace\u003cbr\u003e1.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Allegro maestoso\u003cbr\u003e2.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Poco adagio\u003cbr\u003e3.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Scherzo: Vivace - Poco meno mosso\u003cbr\u003e4.Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70~Finale: Allegro\u003cbr\u003e5.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Sostenuto assai - Allegro ma non troppo\u003cbr\u003e6.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Scherzo: Allegro vivace\u003cbr\u003e7.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Adagio espressivo\u003cbr\u003e8.Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61~Allegro molto vivace\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929213698337,"sku":"5060096760474","price":178.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5060096760474.jpg?v=1760870539","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-dk\/products\/5060096760474","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
