Biography:
The Orchester Philharmonique du Luxembourg (OPL), as the orchestra of the Grand Duchy, embodies a very lively part of its country's cultural tradition. The orchestra, which took over state sponsorship in 1933, has been present throughout Europe since its brilliant beginnings in 1996 with Radio Luxembourg (RTL). Since the opening of the Philharmonie Luxembourg in 2005, with which it has formed a common unit since the beginning of 2012, the OPL has been at home in one of the outstanding concert halls in Europe. The acoustics of his residency, valued by the world's greatest orchestras, conductors and soloists, the long association with houses such as the Salle Pleyel Paris and the Concertgebouw Amsterdam as well as with festivals such as Musica Strasbourg and Ars Musica Brussels, but above all the detailed musicality of its chief conductor Emmanuel Krivine and the intensive collaboration with outstanding musicians such as Evgeny Kissin, Julia Fischer, Jean-Yves Thibaudet and many more. a. have contributed to the reputation of a particularly elegant sound culture of the OPL. In addition to the large romantic and classical repertoire, the OPL also deals intensively with music of the 20th and 21st centuries, for example with works by Iannis Xenakis (complete recording of the orchestral works), Ivo Malec, Hugues Dufourt, Toshio Hosokawa, Klaus Huber, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Helmut Lachenmann, Georges Lentz, Philippe Gaubert, Gabriel Pierné, Arthur Honegger and many more. a.
