About the conductor Klaus Tennstedt

Klaus Tennstedt was born in Merseburg, Germany in 1926 and studied violin and piano at the Leipzig Conservatory. He began his career as leader of the orchestra at the Municipal Theatre in Halle in 1948 and although an injury to a finger cut short his career as a violinist, he continued to coach singers at the Municipal Theatre in Halle. In 1953, Tennstedt made his conducting debut with Wagner-Régeny's opera Der Günstling and in 1958 he was appointed Music Director of the Dresden Opera. In 1962 Tennstedt became Music Director of the Schwerin State Orchestra and Theatre. At this time Tennstedt also regularly conducted many leading East German orchestras including the Dresden Philharmonic, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Leipzig Gewandhaus and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra. On leaving East Germany in 1971, Klaus Tennstedt sought asylum in Sweden. He conducted in Göteborg and Stockholm, where he regularly worked with the Göteborg Theatre and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. In 1972 Tennstedt became General Music Director of the Kiel Opera in Northern Germany and from 1979 to 1982 he was Chief Conductor of the North German Radio Orchestra in Hamburg. Tennstedt made his London debut with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1976. The following year he made his first appearance with The London Philharmonic and became its Principal Guest Conductor in 1980. In 1983, Tennstedt succeeded Sir Georg Solti as Principal Conductor and Music Director of The London Philharmonic and when he retired he was appointed Conductor Laureate. Tennstedt has also appeared at the Salzburg Festival where he made his debut in 1985 with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducting Haydn's Die Jahreszeiten. Due to ill-health Tennstedt retired from conducting in 1994 and died on 11 January, 1998.
