Richard Wagner published the first major treatise on conducting and interpretation in 1869. His ideas on how to interpret the core Classical and early Romantic orchestral repertoire were declared the benchmark by subsequent generations of conductors, making him the originator of a conducting tradition by which those who came after him defined their art – starting with Wagner’s student Hans von Bülow and progressing from him to Arthur Nikisch, Felix Weingartner, Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Wilhelm Furtwängler and beyond.
This conference will bring together leading experts in the research field in question. A workshop and concert with the orchestra of the Bern University of the Arts/Hochschule Luzern – Musik, directed by Prof. Raymond Holden from the project partner, the Royal Academy of Music, will offer a practical perspective on the interpretation history of the Classical repertoire.
With papers by Roger Allen, Raymond Holden, Christoph Moor, Chris Walton, Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer, among others.
