Brief introduction and detailed information of Sandelin

Sandelin is generally regarded as one of the greatest conductors in the former East Germany, and also a rare conductor in the West who can integrate German and Russian music styles. His Jewish identity not only brought him extremely sensitive and delicate command talent, but also brought him the pain of leaving his hometown. He has been deeply cultivated in East Germany for many years, leaving a large number of unique records for fans, but he has not gained commensurate fame and prestige. It was not until the 1980s that the master went to Britain and America to conduct music, and fans all over the world began to know this kind and low-key German old man. Sir Simon Denis Rattle, the current music director of Berlin Philharmonic, once joked: Generally speaking, the permanent conductor of a big orchestra will not reveal his true colors until he is 60 years old. Yes, those old people who magically live to be over 80 years old are all examples: toscanini, abbado, Cheribidakai and other command masters all started from their sixties and ushered in another peak of their command career.

Sandelin was born in a Jewish family in Auriche, former East Prussia (now Poland). Sandelin's father runs a timber factory, and her mother is a modern and civilized woman. In order to help Sandelin, who is interested in music, realize his dream, his parents not only hired a piano teacher for him at an early age, but even moved his family to Berlin in 1928, because Sandelin showed his proud talent in music at the age of 16. 193 1 Sandelin, who has no professional background, got the position of assistant conductor in Berlin Opera House. During this period, he worked as an assistant under Futvingler and erich kleiber. Command skills have soared.

1935, Sandelin, who had nothing to do with politics, attracted the attention of the Nazis because of his Jewish background and conductor status. When he was on holiday in the Alps, the authorities revoked his nationality. There were not many places of refuge in Europe at that time. With the help of a relative, Sandelin immigrated to the former Soviet Union in 1936 and spent 24 years there. From 1940, Sandelin began to be the assistant of Soviet conductor Mravinsky, and cooperated with Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra for decades, and forged a profound friendship with Shostakovich.

Since 1960, he has been the permanent conductor of the newly established former East Berlin Symphony Orchestra, and since 1964, he has been the conductor of the Dresden Symphony Orchestra. 1977 After resigning from the East Berlin Symphony Orchestra, Sandelin began to tour all over the world and perform with the world's top orchestras. From Japan to Britain, from the United States to the Nordic countries, with the cooperation of bands of different colors, languages and cultures, this old man is still making progress and becoming famous all over the world.

1990, East and West Germany merged to form the Federal Republic of Germany. Sandelin was chosen to conduct the concert celebrating the merger of Germany and Germany, which was not only the highest honor for Sandelin, but also the affirmation given to him by his motherland many years later. On May 9, 2002/KLOC-0, four months before Sandlinsheng, his last concert was held. When the old man stood on the podium in the center of the symphony orchestra and waved a baton to let the orchestra play music, he was over eighty years old and still so sensitive and affectionate about the score.

Sandelin's Command, the masterpiece, combines the rigor of German style with the romanticism of Russian style. The German-Austrian works performed by Dresden Orchestra are thick and full of charm. His interpretations of Brahms, sibelius and some Russian composers are very popular. His precious recordings (such as the complete works of Brahms recorded by two orchestras in Berlin and Dresden, and a large number of works by Shostakovich, Rachmaninov and * * *) are even greater wealth. As the second symphony of Rachmaninov, its representative was chosen as the big lotus of DG Company.

In addition, Sandelin conducted the symphony works of the former East Berlin Symphony Orchestra Shostakovich, which were elegant, fresh and powerful, and were regarded as the benchmark of Shore's works after the war.
