About the conductor Riccardo Chailly

Riccardo Chailly was born into a musical family in Milan. He studied at the conservatories in Perugia, Rome and Milan, specializing at the Siena summer courses with Franco Ferrara. At the age of 20 he became assistant conductor to Claudio Abbado at Milan’s La Scala. He made his opera debut there in 1978 and was soon in great demand at the world’s most important musical venues such as the Vienna State Opera, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, London’s Royal Opera House Covent Garden, the Bavarian State Opera and Zurich Opera. He has conducted the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Munich Philharmonic, the Wiener Philharmoniker, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, The Cleve­land Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra, and also appeared as guest conductor at the Salzburg Easter Festival and the Lucerne Festival. Chailly’s repertoire ranges from the great classical symphonic and operatic works to those of the present day. His recordings have been crowned with numerous awards, including the Edison, Echo and Gramophone awards, the Diapason d’or, the Academy Charles Cross Award, the Japanese Unga Knonotomo Award, the Toblacher Komponierhäuschen, the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik and several Grammy® nominations. He was also chosen as “Artist of the Year” by the French magazine Diapason and the British magazine Gramo­phone. Further awards include his being named Grand’Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana and being made an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music in London in 1996. In 1998 he was knighted by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and also given the title of Cavaliere di Gran Croce della Repubblica Italiana. In 2003 he received the Antonio Feltrinelli Award by the Accedemia Nazionale dei Lincei of Rome for his work as a conductor in Italy.
