My Take
What strikes me about Gianandrea Noseda is the sheer breadth of his calendar. Born in Milan in 1964, he simultaneously holds the music directorship of Washington's National Symphony Orchestra, the general music directorship of Zurich Opera, and a principal guest post with the London Symphony, plus his Tsinandali Festival in Georgia. That's an itinerary that would exhaust most conductors, yet he keeps it going. The 2016 International Opera Award and his Order of Merit honor signal real institutional respect. I find it telling that opera and symphonic work coexist so comfortably in his life; it suggests a musician who refuses to be boxed into one tradition.
