Lorin Maazel (1930-2014) was the most cosmopolitan conductor of his generation, fluent in five languages, a brilliant mathematician and a musician with the ears of a lynx, the score-reading skills of a hawk, the creative gift of a composer, the stylistic sense of a haute couture designer and the polish of an international diplomat.

The variety of orchestras represented here – German, French, British, American and Italian – is just one testament to Lorin Maazel’s ability to adapt his talents to all manner of repertoire and situations. For once, the term ‘class act’ is appropriate when considering his multifaceted career.
