Philippe Jordan
conductor
Philippe Jordan loves to conduct leading orchestras in what he calls “the be-all and end-all of symphonic music”: Wagner, but also Mahler, Strauss, Bruckner and Beethoven. “A conductor who hasn’t performed Beethoven’s nine symphonies is not a conductor.” Jordan, who comes from a Swiss family of artists, can look back on a meteoric career that has already taken him to the world’s major opera houses and leading orchestras – including the Berliner Philharmoniker, where he made his debut in 2004 with works by Strauss, Berg and Schumann.
