Andris Nelsons is Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Gewandhauskapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. These two positions - combined with his leadership of a pioneering alliance between the two institutions - have firmly established the Grammy Award-winning conductor as one of the most sought-after artists today. Nelsons’ recording projects with Deutsche Grammophon, where he is an exclusive artist, reflect the depth and breadths of his musical vision. With the Boston Symphony Orchestra he recorded the complete symphonies and concertos of Shostakovich (Shostakovich: Symphonies; Concertos; Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District) as well as the opera “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District”, earning four GRAMMY Awards for Best Orchestral Performance and Best Engineered Album. With the Gewandhausorchester, Nelsons completed a Bruckner symphonic cycle marking the composer’s bicentenary in 2024 (Bruckner: Symphonies Nos. 0-9 – Wagner: Orchestral Music ). His Beethoven cycle with the Vienna Philharmonic was released in 2019 (Beethoven: Complete Symphonies). As part of the alliance between the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Deutsche Grammophon also released a celebrated 2022 album of Richard Strauss’s major symphonic works performed by both orchestras (Strauss). A Mendelssohn cycle with the Gewandhausorchester is due to be released in 2026.
