Ivor Bolton

Like a lot of conductors today, Ivor Bolton has generated a parallel profession being a soloist, in his case being a harpsichordist. In the podium, he’s better known in the opera home, especially for his incisive interpretations of Baroque operas by Handel, Purcell, yet others, as well for his Mozart (Le nozze di Figaro; Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Bellini (I Capuleti e i Montecchi), and Rossini. His orchestral repertory, though also divulging a bias for early music, expands into the Intimate and modern intervals, encompassing functions by Mendelssohn, Brahms, Franz Berwald, Bruckner, Malcolm Arnold, and Adam MacMillan. Being a harpsichordist, Bolton provides garnered acclaim especially for his shows (and documenting) of harpsichord concertos by J.S. Bach. Bolton offers amassed a big discography pass on over several brands, including DG, RCA, ASV, Teldec, Oehms, Farao Information, RPO (Royal Philharmonic Orchestra), as well as others. Ivor Bolton was created in Blackrod (Lancashire), Britain. He analyzed music at Cambridge University or college (Clare University) with the Royal University of Music in London. After graduation he added an additional 12 months of research, this in the Country wide Opera Studio room, also in London. Throughout that 12 months he gained his first essential post, conductor from the chamber choir Schola Cantorum of Oxford (University or college). In 1982 Bolton started an extended association using the Glyndebourne Event, eventually getting music movie director of the business’s touring opera in 1992, for five months. In 1984 Bolton founded his personal instrumental outfit, the St. Wayne Baroque Players. After a lot more than twenty years under his management the group is continuing to grow in stature and created several popular recordings, like the 1996 Charpentier Te Deum on Teldec. Bolton offered as music movie director for one time of year (1991-1992) using the British Touring Opera. During his five-year tenure in the Glyndebourne Touring Opera, Bolton produced a number of important operatic debuts, including on the Bavarian Condition Opera (1994) and Covent Backyard (1995). And he was active in the totally instrumental world, as well, serving as primary conductor from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra (1994-1996). In the brand new century Bolton continues to be just as energetic: since 2004 he continues to be conductor from the Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg, and continues to be busy on the main operatic venues, like the 2004 Salzburg Celebration (with Anna Netrebko performing Giulietta in Bellini’s I Capuleti e we Montecchi). Among Bolton’s recordings may be the 2007 Compact disc of Mozart’s La Finta Giardiniera on Deutsche Grammophon. Bolton also extended his opera repertoire by performing Britten’s Billy Budd through the 2010-11 period at De Nederlandse Opera.
