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 Rembrandt'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!

Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Artists Introduction
Conductor｜Sir Simon RATTLE
Convincing charisma, great experimental spirit and enthusiasm, as well as an uncompromising artistic seriousness – all of this makes the Liverpool-native Simon RATTLE one of the most fascinating conducting personalities of our time.
In 2010, with SCHUMANN's Das Paradies und die Peri, Sir Simon RATTLE stood for the first time at the podium of the BR Chor and BRSO. Since then, an intensive collaboration has developed, and his performances in Munich have always been highlights. In 2021, Simon RATTLE and the BRSO solidified their deep mutual affection with the signing of a contract for Simon RATTLE to take on the position of Chief Conductor starting in the 2023/2024 season. Thus, the 69-year-old Briton with a German passport assumed the leadership of the orchestra last September, an orchestra he has admired since his youth. As before his appointment, Simon RATTLE presents a broad repertoire: from RAMEAU, BACH, HAYDN, and MOZART to modern and contemporary music, from the classics of symphonic music to concertante opera.
Under the label "hip – historically informed performance," he has also established the playing of early music on original instruments at the BRSO. Additionally, Simon RATTLE is passionately dedicated to music education. Ambitious projects with the BRSO Academy or the Bavarian State Youth Orchestra are as much a priority for him as the "Symphonic Hoagascht," where he brings together brass ensembles from Bavaria with the BRSO.
Simon RATTLE's steep career began at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Between 1980 and 1998, he led it to world renown. From 2002 to 2018 he was Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and from 2017 to 2023 Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra, with which he will remain associated as Conductor Emeritus. Moreover, Simon RATTLE is the "Principal Artist" of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the First Guest Conductor of the Czech Philharmonic, and maintains long-standing relationships with other top orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic or the Berlin Staatskapelle, and with renowned opera houses including the Royal Opera House in London, the Berlin State Opera, the New York Met, and the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence. A recent collaboration led him to the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
Simon RATTLE has received numerous high honors. Among the CDs released with the BRSO, MAHLER's Ninth Symphony was awarded a Diapason d'or and a Gramophone Editor's Choice, while the Sixth Symphony received a Gramophone Editor's Choice and a Prize of the German Record Critics.
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.
