Sir Simon RATTLE & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
The Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks (Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, BRSO), based in Munich, Germany, shoulders multiple tasks such as broadcasting, recording, and premiering new compositions for competitions, unaffected by box office constraints due to its advantageous background. This has made the orchestra one of the most elite forces in the symphonic world. Not only do the members possess outstanding solo and ensemble abilities, but the orchestra can also instantly adapt to the interpretive styles of different conductors, creating entirely different sounds. After six years, the BRSO will finally return to Weiwuying with Sir Simon RATTLE, the former Chief Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra. This time, they will present MAHLER's Symphony No. 7, which couldn't be performed during their last visit to Taiwan, fulfilling the wishes of Taiwanese music lovers. MAHLER's Symphony No. 7 is nicknamed the "Song of the Night" due to its two "Nachtmusik" (Night Music) movements. The former is inspired by Rembrant's paintings, depicting distant bird calls, while the latter weaves the palpitations of budding love using rare instruments such as harps, guitar, and mandolin. From solemn marches to mysterious nocturnes, and then to brilliant finale, it is like a traveler's footsteps and the spiritual traces in the quiet night. Come exploring MAHLER's profound fantasy world together with the legendary BRSO and Sir Simon RATTLE in the Weiwuying Concert Hall!

Artists Introduction
Conductor｜Sir Simon RATTLE
Convincing charisma, a love for experimentation, commitment to contemporary music, great social and pedagogical engagement and unreserved artistic seriousness - all this makes the Liverpool-native Simon RATTLE one of the most fascinating conducting personalities of our time. Since the start of the 2023/2024 season, Sir Simon RATTLE has been the new Chief Conductor of the Chor und Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
Simon RATTLE gained international reputation during his time with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (1980-1998), which he led to world fame. He was the Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker from 2002 to 2018 and Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra from 2017 to 2023. As Conductor Emeritus, the 69-year-old Briton with a German passport will remain associated with the LSO. He also works closely with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, of which he is Principal Artist. Simon RATTLE regularly tours throughout Europe and Asia and maintains long-standing relationships with leading orchestras worldwide, including the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Staatskapelle, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and the Czech Philharmonic.
He is a sought-after guest at major opera houses, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, at the Berlin and Vienna State Opera, New York's Metropolitan Opera and the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, where he most recently appeared with the LSO in a new production of BERG's Wozzeck.
During his time as Principal Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, Simon RATTLE made regular guest appearances at the Salzburg Easter Festival, in Baden-Baden and in Aix-en-Provence. His up to now 70 recordings has received the highest honors and awards.
Simon RATTLE was highly committed to the Berliner Philharmoniker's education program "Zukunft@BPhil", for which he has also received several awards.
In London, he founded the LSO East London Academy in 2019 - a collaboration between the LSO and ten districts in the east of the city to promote exceptional musical talents regardless of their social background.
Together with the BRSO, Richard WAGNER's "Das Rheingold", "Die Walküre" and "Siegfried", MAHLER's Lied von der Erde and Ninth Symphony, and the musica viva-CD with works by Ondřej ADÁMEK have been released on CD up to now. The Ninth Symphony was awarded a Diapason d'or, a Supersonic Pizzicato and Gramophone Editor's Choice.
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
With the 2023/24 season, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra welcomed its new Principal Conductor: Sir Simon RATTLE. As the sixth Chief Conductor in the line of important orchestra leaders after Eugen JOCHUM, Rafael KUBELIK, Colin DAVIS, Lorin MAAZEL and Mariss JANSONS, who died on 1 December 2019, he is a conductor personality of great openness to new artistic paths.
The BRSO, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2024, developed into an internationally renowned orchestra soon after its founding in 1949. In addition to the interpretation of the classical-romantic repertoire, the orchestra's central concern from the beginning was to cultivate contemporary music within the framework of musica viva, founded by Karl Amadeus HARTMANN in 1945.
Since its beginnings, many renowned guest conductors such as Erich and Carlos KLEIBER, Otto KLEMPERER, Leonard BERNSTEIN, Georg SOLTI, Carlo Maria GIULINI, Kurt SANDERLING and Wolfgang SAWALLISCH have left their mark on the symphony orchestra.
Today, Yannick NÉZET-SÉGUIN, Riccardo MUTI, Herbert BLOMSTEDT, Franz WELSER-MÖST, Daniel HARDING and Iván FISCHER are important partners.
The orchestra tours regularly throughout Europe, Asia and North and South America. Japanese music critics voted the BRSO's concerts under the direction of Zubin MEHTA the No. 1 best concerts in 2018.
Its numerous CD recordings have repeatedly won national and international awards, such as the Grammy (2006). Most recently the recording of Gustav MAHLER's 9th Symphony under the baton of Sir Simon RATTLE was awarded the Diapason d'Or (2023).
In an orchestra ranking by "Bachtrack", the world's leading website for classical music events for which internationally renowned music critics were asked about "The World's Greatest Orchestras," the BRSO came in third place.
