Thomas Sanderling


Thomas Sanderling grew up in St Petersburg, where his father Kurt Sanderling was conductor of the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. After graduating from the Music School of the Leningrad Conservatory he studied conducting at the Music Academy in East Berlin. At the age of 24 he became the Music Director of the Halle Opera. At an early age he appeared frequently with leading East German orchestras and opera houses, including the Dresden Staatskapelle and Leipzig Gewandhaus. He won the Berlin Critics’ Prize for his performances at the Komische Oper. After Shostakovich heard him with the State Orchestra of Russia, the composer asked him to give the German premières of his Symphonies Nos. 13 and 14, and this relationship also saw him make the world première recording of The Michelangelo Suite, Shostakovich’s last orchestral work. This recording led to work as assistant to Leonard Bernstein and Herbert von Karajan.
