Philippe Herreweghe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 2015-11-19.
Philippe Herreweghe, 2011
Philippe Herreweghe (born 2 May 1947,
Ghent)
is a
Belgian
conductor.
In his school years at the
University of Ghent, Herreweghe combined studies in medical
science and psychiatry with a musical education at the
Ghent Conservatory, where Marcel Gazelle,
Yehudi Menuhin's accompanist, was his piano teacher. In the same
period, he began conducting and in 1970 founded the
Collegium Vocale Ghent, and gave up medicine. Very soon
Nikolaus Harnoncourt and
Gustav Leonhardt took notice of his musical approach, and invited
him and the "Collegium Vocale Gent" to join them in their recordings
of the complete Bach cantatas.
HIDE TEXT
Herreweghe's approach to baroque music came to
be widely recognised, and in 1977 he founded another ensemble in
Paris,
La Chapelle Royale, to perform the music of the French Golden
Age. Since then, he has started several other groups and ensembles
with whom he managed to create a repertoire stretching from the
Renaissance to contemporary music: the
Ensemble Vocal Européen, which specialises in Renaissance
polyphony, and the
Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, founded in 1991 to revive the
repertoire of the romantic and pre-romantic era on original
instruments.
He is principally known as a conductor of the
music of
Johann Sebastian Bach. He is regarded by leading Bach scholars
today as a founding father of the baroque authentic practice,
original-instrument movement and one of record label
Harmonia Mundi's most prolific recording artists, with over sixty
albums to his name.
As a guest conductor, Philippe Herreweghe has
conducted a number of well-known orchestras, including the
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the
Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, the
Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Dutch Broadcasting Orchestra, the
Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the
Berlin and
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras, and the
Royal Flemish Philharmonic. Philippe Herreweghe was artistic
director of the Festival of Saintes in 1982 and voted European
Musician of the Year in 1990. From 1998 to 2002, he was chief
conductor of
DeFilharmonie (Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Flanders), and now
holds the title of Hoofddirigent (principal conductor) with the
orchestra.

For most of his recording career, Herreweghe has
