This remarkable collection of recordings celebrates the seventieth birthday of one of the world’s leading conductors, Gerard Schwarz, whose career in music spans over half a century. He has made numerous significant recordings as a virtuoso trumpet player, and became renowned for his innovative and wide-ranging programming with the Seattle Symphony, emphasizing music by the great American symphonic composers and embracing classics such as an “utterly magical” Dvorak Sixth Symphony. From Baroque to contemporary and everything in between, this festive compilation is the best birthday gift we could imagine. With too many fine recordings to list, today’s musical landscape would be entirely different and very much the poorer without the tireless presence of conductor Gerard Schwarz. Not content with raising the Seattle Symphony Orchestra to its highest artistic level, he continues to innovate with the All Star Orchestra, and maintains an ongoing involvement in numerous artistic roles both in the USA and abroad.
