UK career

In 1974, he was made assistant conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and in 1977 assistant conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is an English Orchestra. The orchestra was originally based in Bournemouth, but in 1979 moved its offices to the adjacent The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra based in Liverpool, England, is one of the world's oldest established Orchestras It is owned and administered

His time with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) from 1980 to 1998 drew him to the attention of critics and the public. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO is a British orchestra based in Birmingham, England. In 1980, Rattle became the CBSO's Principal Conductor and Artistic Adviser, and in 1990, Music Director. Rattle increased both his profile and that of the orchestra over his tenure. One of his long-term concert projects was the series of concerts of 20th century music titled "Towards the Millennium". One other major achievement during his time was the move of the CBSO from its former venue, the Town Hall, to a newly built concert hall, Symphony Hall, in 1991. The BBC commissioned film director Jaine Green to follow him in his final year with the CBSO to make Simon Rattle — Moving On. Jaine Green is an award winning UK documentary maker and former stand-up comedienne.

Rattle was awarded a CBE in 1987 and made a Knight Bachelor in 1994. The rank of Knight Bachelor is a part of the British honours system. In 1992, Rattle was named a Principal Guest Conductor of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE), along with Frans Brüggen.

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

Rattle made his conducting debut with the Berlin Philharmonic (BPO) in 1987, in a performance of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. The Berlin Philharmonic (in German: Die Berliner Philharmoniker) is an Orchestra based in Berlin, Germany. 6. In 1999, Rattle was appointed as successor to Claudio Abbado as the orchestra's principal conductor. WikipediaWikiProject Classical music#Biographical_infoboxes --> Claudio Abbado, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (born June [8] The appointment, decided on in a June 23 vote by the orchestra's members, was somewhat controversial, as several members of the orchestra were earlier reported to have preferred Daniel Barenboim for the post. Daniel Barenboim (born November 15, 1942) is a pianist and conductor. [9] Nevertheless, Rattle won the post and proceeded to win over his detractors by refusing to sign the contract until he had ensured that every member of the orchestra was paid fairly, and also that the orchestra would gain artistic independence from the Berlin Senate. [10]

Before leaving for Germany and on his arrival, Rattle controversially attacked the British attitude to culture in general, and in particular the artists of the Britart movement,[11] together with the state funding of culture in the UK. Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate" generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic Young British Artists or YBAs (also The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located [12] He was attacked in return for his poor understanding of conceptual and visual art. Conceptual art is Art in which the Concept (s or Idea (s involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns The visual arts are art forms that focus on the creation of works which are primarily Visual in nature such as Painting, Photography

Since his appointment, Rattle has reorganized the Berlin Philharmonic into a foundation, meaning its activities are more under the control of the members rather than politicians. He has also ensured that orchestra members' wages have increased quite dramatically, having fallen over the past few years. [13] He gave his first concert as principal conductor of the BPO on September 7, 2002, leading performances of Thomas Adès' Asyla and Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5, performances which received rave reviews from the press worldwide[14] and were recorded for CD and DVD release by EMI. Events 1251 BC - A Solar eclipse on this date might mark the birth of legendary Heracles at Thebes Greece. See also 2002 (disambiguation Year 2002 ( MMII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. Thomas Adès (born in London, 1 March 1971) is a British Composer, Pianist and conductor. The Symphony No 5 by Gustav Mahler was written in 1901 and 1902 mostly during the summer months at Mahler's cottage at Maiernigg. Early collaborative projects in the Berlin community with Rattle and the BPO involved a choreographed performance of Stravinsky's Le sacre du printemps and a film project with Mark-Anthony Turnage's Blood on the Floor. Mark-Anthony Turnage (born June 10, 1960 in Corringham Essex) is an English Composer of classical music. [15] He has also continued to champion contemporary music in Berlin. [16] The orchestra has established its first education department during Rattle's tenure. [17]

Criticism of Rattle's tenure with the Berlin Philharmonic began to appear after their first season together,[18] and continued in their second season. [19] The German critic Klaus Geitel was reported in 2004 to have described Rattle as "the weakest musical director of the Berlin Philharmonic he's ever seen". [20] Rattle himself stated in 2005 that his relationship with the BPO musicians could sometimes be "turbulent", but also "never destructively so". [21]

In 2006, a new controversy began in the German press as to the quality of Rattle's concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic, with criticism from the German critic Manuel Brug in Die Welt. [22] One musician who wrote to the press to defend Rattle was the pianist Alfred Brendel. Alfred Brendel KBE (born January 5 1931 is an Austrian Pianist, born in Czechoslovakia and a resident of the United Kingdom. [23] In 2007, the BPO/Rattle recording of Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem received the Classic FM Gramophone best choral disc award. Johannes Brahms ( pronounced ˈbʁaːms (May 7 1833 &ndash April 3 1897 was a German Composer [24]

UNICEF appointed Rattle and the BPO as Goodwill Ambassadors in November 2007. The United Nations Children's Fund (or UNICEF) was created by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946 [25]

Rattle is currently contracted to the BPO through 2012. Negotiations on the status of Rattle with the orchestra beyond 2012 began in the spring of 2008. [26] This culminated in an April 2008 vote by the BPO musicians in favour of retaining Rattle as their chief conductor. [27]

Conducting in North America

The musical relationship between Rattle and The Philadelphia Orchestra was reported to be such that Philadelphia wanted to hire Rattle as its next music director after Wolfgang Sawallisch, but Rattle declined. [31] However, Rattle continues to guest-conduct with The Philadelphia Orchestra in what is currently his sole North American guest-conducting engagement,[32] including appearances in 2006[33] and the Philadelphia Orchestra's first performances of Robert Schumann's Das Paradies und die Peri in November 2007. [34] [35]

Musical styles and recordings

Rattle has conducted a wide variety of music, including some with period instruments (musical instruments contemporary with the music being played), but he is best known for his interpretations of late-19th and early 20th century composers such as Mahler, with a recording of Mahler's Second Symphony winning several awards on its release and being regarded by some as Rattle's finest recording to date. A musical instrument is a device constructed or modified for the purpose of making Music. A composer (literally meaning 'one who puts together' is a person who creates Music, usually in the medium of notation, for Interpretation and Performance The Symphony No 2 in C minor by Gustav Mahler, known as the Resurrection, was written between 1888 and 1894 and first performed in 1895 He has also championed much contemporary music, an example of this being the TV series Leaving Home, where he presents a 7-part survey of musical styles and conductors with excerpts recorded by the CBSO.
