Antonio de Almeida

Antonio de Almeida enjoyed a distinguished career as a conductor, having appeared with the Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco orchestras in America, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the London and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras. He was responsible for a number of award-winning recordings, including the major orchestral works of Joaquín Turina and a recording of original unedited overtures and ballet music by Offenbach, a composer on whom he was acknowledged to be a leading authority. His work on behalf of French music brought him, among other distinctions, the award of the Légion d’honneur. Born in France, Antonio de Almeida studied with Paul Hindemith at Yale University and began his career as a conductor with the Oporto Symphony Orchestra in Portugal, later making his London début at the invitation of Sir Thomas Beecham with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. For Marco Polo he recorded works by Glazunov, Malipiero, Sauguet and Tournemire. Antonio de Almeida died in Pittsburgh in 1997 aged 69.
