Philippe Jordan has already established himself as one of the most gifted and exciting conductors manning the podiums before the world's great concert hall stages. At present, he is Music Director of the OpÃ©ra National de Paris and Music Director of the Wiener Symphoniker, but his many past and present European orchestral engagements suggest a conductor highly respected and in great demand. Giving it's first concert in it's earliest incarnation at the very turn of 20th c., the Wiener Symphoniker, led here by Mr. Jordan in Schubert's final two, and greatest, symphonies, handles the lion's share of symphonic activity that makes up the musical life of the Austrian capital. The preservation of the traditional, Viennese orchestral sound occupies a central place in the orchestra's various artistic pursuits.
