Emmanuel Krivine

Self-proclaimed "little fascist turned civilized", Emmanuel Krivine wears two hats. That of one of the greatest conductors of the late twentieth century, and that of an itching powder who never talks down to the public or the orchestra. He likes to remind us that we often forget the word "orchestra" when we speak of "conductor". Demanding both of himself and of his musicians, Emmanuel Krivine dares to challenge himself by tackling repertoires that do not come naturally to him, as he does with the Philharmonic Chamber. His recordings with Anne Gastinel and the Orchestre de Lyon, such as Mozart's Mass in C (2005) with the Chambre Philharmonique, and his recordings on the Timpani label of the French composers Debussy and D'Indy with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, have become benchmarks.
