Nathalie Stutzmann: A Top Orchestra Transforms Every Millimeter of My Gesture Into Music

Subscribe ➜ bit.ly/subscri...
French conductor Nathalie Stutzmann has a unique background, unlike any other conductor in the world: a career as a Baroque contralto. In the podcast Philharmonious, she reflects on how to achieve the enchantment that music can bring. Her recipe is a combination of thorough preparation, musical spontaneity, and mutual trust. 🤝
"Being a conductor is a strange profession. You spend so many hours just sitting at a table, reading the score, trying to understand its structure and develop your own idea of interpretation. And than you have to pass it to an orchestra in just two days of rehearsals. It's such a short time!" says Stutzman, who is making her debut with the Czech Philharmonic, performing works by Mozart and Tchaikovsky. 🎶
In the last edition of the Philharmonious podcast, Stutzman also shares her thoughts on whether she misses her singing career, why psychology is the hardest part of conducting, and what her personal musical credo is. 🎧
The interview was conducted by composer Ian Mikyska.
