About This Program
Approximate length 2:00
Matthias Pintscher sees his two main spheres of activity, composing and conducting, as entirely complementary. He has created significant works for the world’s leading orchestras, and his intrinsic understanding of the score from the composer’s perspective informs his ability to communicate on the podium. He may justly be called the most sought-after German composer of his generation, and his music is championed by some of today’s finest performing artists, orchestras and conductors.
