Adam FischerAbout
The Hungarian-born conductor Adam Fischer (b. 1949) graduated from the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest and undertook further studies in Vienna. Adam Fischer has been associated with the Danish Chamber Orchestra since 1997, serving as chief conductor from 1998, where he still is a major driving force and initiator both in Denmark and internationally. In 2019, he was awarded the international Wolf Prize for Music, was nominated Conductor of the Year by Presto Classical in the UK, and received the BBC Music Magazine Awards Orchestral Award for his recording of Mahler’s Symphony no.1 with the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra.
Adam Fischer has conducted the Danish Chamber Orchestra for over two decades. In 2022 he was awarded with the International Classical Music Award for this lifetime achievements and has received – among others – the renowned Wolf Prize of the Wolf Foundation in Jerusalem and the Gold Medal in the Arts of the Kennedy Center, Washington DC. He has been a member of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights for more than 20 years. Since 2016 he has presented the Tonhalle Düsseldorf Human Rights Award every year.
He has performed at the Vienna State Opera, La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera as well as directing orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Fischer has two major cycles already recorded for Naxos – the first is the complete Beethoven symphonies on 8505251 praised by Gramophone: ‘I find these performances utterly fascinating… The recorded sound is excellent.’ The second is the complete Brahms symphonies on 857446567, which received similar critical praise: ‘fascinating performances’ (The Guardian).
The Danish Chamber Orchestra is perhaps one of the most reactive, sensitive and expressive orchestras in the world because of Fischer’s involvement. ‘The Danish Chamber Orchestra’s excellent playing ensures a set in which relationships, between orchestral groups, between sections of movements, and between symphonies, are thoughtfully and provocatively delineated. These renditions showcase Beethoven’s revolutionary side in a way few other sets even come close to managing’ (Fanfare).
