My Take

Ingo Metzmacher strikes me as a conductor's conductor. Born in Hanover, a pianist as well as a podium artist, he was named Echo Klassik Conductor of the Year in 1998 and honored with his home Lower Saxony's state prize. What I find quietly admirable is that after a wide-ranging career he now serves as artistic director of a festival back in Hanover, a kind of homecoming I always respect in artists. Classical music can feel intimidating, but knowing a figure with this much conviction is shaping the sound makes me want to actually sit down and listen. He reads, to me, like a craftsman of atmosphere.
