Listen to songs that have inspired one of the greatest conductors of our generation. ‘The Soundtrack to your Moments’ – chosen by Gewandhauskapellmeister Andris Nelsons, delivered by DHL:
Andris Nelsons was only five-years-old when he fell in love with classical music. His family took him to see his first opera, Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser. He was immediately mesmerised and became infected by the “mysticism of classical music”, he says. Since then, classical music has been Andris Nelsons’ passion and life. Born in Latvia into a family of musicians, he began his career as a trumpeter in the Latvian National Opera Orchestra before studying conducting. Today, he is one of the most innovative conductors around the globe with an impressive career. He is the Gewandhauskapellmeister of the oldest civic symphony orchestra in the world, the Leipzig-based Gewandhausorchester, and chief conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In order to share his love for classical music, Andris Nelsons has created a special playlist on IDAGIO. He handpicked some of his favorite music for moments of inspiration, joy and focus, including Wagner’s Tannhäuser, the opera that started it all.
