Tarmo Peltokoski:

Mozart Symphonies w/Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Br

“Peltokoski’s natural charisma means neither his musicians nor anyone else in the auditorium can take their eyes from the podium” (Le Monde, reviewing the Toulouse concert of 2 December). Tarmo Peltokoski, who became the youngest conductor on the Deutsche Grammophon roster when he signed an exclusive contract with the label last October, is continuing to captivate critics and audiences alike with his dazzling live performances at leading venues around the world.

His debut DG album, presents Mozart’s Symphonies Nos. 35 “Haffner”, 36 “Linz” and 40 in G minor. Peltokoski recorded the works with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, of which he was appointed the first ever Principal Guest Conductor in early 2022 and which was named Orchestra of the Year at the 2023 Gramophone Awards. Their Mozart album available digitally and on CD today, with the opening movement of Symphony No. 40 and the Andante from No. 36. The digital version also contains three bonus tracks featuring virtuosic solo piano improvisations from Peltokoski, one based on each of the three symphonies.

Born in 2000, Tarmo Peltokoski is already recognised as one of the world’s top-flight conductors (“the Finnish wonder-conductor”, “a talent of a century” – Tagesspiegel). His knowledge and versatility allow him to move between the concert hall and the opera house – he conducted his first full Ring cycle at 22 – in repertoire that ranges from Classical to contemporary. In the space of just two years he has been named Music Director Designate of the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Music and Artistic Director of the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as of The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
