Anyone who has seen and heard live or on DVD the Aix-en-Provence Festival productions directed by Peter Brook (Don Giovanni) and Patrice Chéreau (Così fan tutte) will certainly have noticed the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and its conductor, Daniel Harding. The Oxford-born young man first attracted attention as assistant to Sir Simon Rattle, then to Claudio Abbado. From 2003 he became music director of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and from 2007 director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. He co...nducts leading ensembles and is a regular guest at prestigious festivals. Milestones in his career as an opera conductor have been two productions at Covent Garden (Britten: The Turn of the Screw; Berg: Wozzeck) and the première of Idomeneo at La Scala Milan (2005). Harding conducted the Wiener Philharmoniker in a performance of Don Giovanni at the 2006 Salzburg Mozart celebrations. He will appear in Budapest with the virtuoso Turkish pianist and composer, Fazil Say who, as ambassador of the year in 2008 represents the main goals of the EU initiative “European Year of Intercultural Dialogue”.
