About the conductor Adam Fischer

Adam Fischer was born in Budapest on the 9th September 1949 and brought up in a musical family. After studying piano and composition at Bartok Conservatory he moved to Vienna in order to develop his conducting skills and studied under Hans Swarowsky. He won first prize in the Milan Guido Cantelli Competition. His career began with opera conducting in Munich, Freiburg, and other German cities. In 1982 he made his Paris Opéra debut, leading Der Rosenkavalier, and in 1986 he made his debut at La Scala, Milan, leading Die Zauberflöte. Between 1987 and 1992 he was the general music director in Kassel. In the mid 1970s he collaborated closely with the Helsinki Philharmonic and since then has directed many European orchestras, including the Vienna Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, the London Philharmonic, the Philharmonia as well as the Royal Philharmonic. In 1984 for the first time he appeared in Japan, where he has returned many times since. After the death of Giuseppe Sinopoli, Adam Fischer was appointed by the Bayreuth Festival for ‘Der Ring des Nibelungen’ and made a very successful debut. He was chosen as ‘The conductor of the year 2002’ by the German magazine Opernwelt. He conducted ‘The Ring’ until 2004 and came back to Bayreuth 2006 and 2007 with ‘Parsifal’. In 1987 Adam Fischer established the Austrian-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra and started the Haydn Festival in the Austrian Eisenstadt. The festival is internationally established and invites leading orchestras, ensembles and soloists. With the Austrian-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra, he recorded the complete Haydn symphonies for Nimbus. This was the first digital recording of entire Haydn Symphonies and received outstanding critical approval. In June 2007 he became the General Music Director of Hungarian State Opera.
