Philharmonia Orchestra

Uit HitStory, de popencyclopedie van School of Rock · Artiest

Het Philharmonia Orchestra is een Brits orkest uit Londen, opgericht in 1945 door Walter Legge, platenproducent bij EMI. De naam had Legge al in 1941 gebruikt voor een strijkkwartet. Hij stelde het orkest samen uit jonge musici die nog in dienst waren van de strijdkrachten en wilde vooral goede opnamen maken. Eerst bestond het niet als vast gezelschap, maar werd het telkens opgeroepen uit spelers van Legges lijst. Het eerste concert in 1946 stond onder leiding van Thomas Beecham, maar het orkest wilde hem niet als vaste dirigent. Aan het begin werkte het met Richard Strauss, Wilhelm Furtwängler en Arturo Toscanini, en Herbert von Karajan werd er nauw mee verbonden.

Muziek en doorbraak

Van eind jaren vijftig tot begin jaren zeventig was Otto Klemperer chefdirigent. In 1964 wilde Legge het orkest opheffen, maar de musici gingen als zelfbesturend ensemble verder onder de naam New Philharmonia Orchestra. Na dertien jaar kregen ze de oorspronkelijke naam terug. Riccardo Muti bracht het orkest nieuw leven in van 1972 tot 1982. Daarna volgden Giuseppe Sinopoli, Christoph von Dohnányi, Esa-Pekka Salonen en vanaf 2021 Santtu-Matias Rouvali.

Invloed

Het orkest geeft meer dan honderdzestig concerten per jaar, toert veel en gaf opdracht voor meer dan honderd nieuwe composities. In zijn eerste twintig jaar werd het gezien als het beste symfonieorkest van Londen.
