About

Orfeo is proud to present their first CD of Andris Nelsons with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, where the young Latvian has been principal conductor since September 2008.

Nelsons has been influenced and fascinated by Russian music since his youth, as well as by the emotional power and deeply confessional element in Tchaikovsky's music.

At just 29 years old, Nelsons is not quite the youngest conductor ever to shepherd the CBSO through its repertoire - Sir Simon Rattle took on the role at just 25 - but this highly energetic individual has the youthful, fresh image that many of the UK orchestras of late, seem to be pursuing.

Nelsons, born in Riga, studied conducting with Alexander Titov in Saint Petersburg and participated in master classes with Neeme Järvi and Jorma Panula. He came to the attention of Mariss Jansons when he guested with the Oslo Philharmonic in their trumpet section. He counts Jansons as a mentor, and has been a conducting student with him since 2002.
