Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen

Switzerland's Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen emerged on the recording scene in the 2010s, making albums for several major labels. The orchestra plays symphonic music at the venerable Tonhalle St. Gallen. and also performs in operatic productions under the auspices of the Theater St. Gallen. The eastern Swiss city of St. Gallen has a long history of orchestral concerts, with both Wagner and Liszt visiting the city for appearances in the 1850s. In 1877, the St. Gallen Concert Association formed a professional orchestra, which played for operas and plays, as well as giving independent symphonic concerts. The orchestra took a step forward in 1909 when it moved into the new Tonhalle St. Gallen, which has remained its headquarters ever since. A major force in the orchestra's development was the conductorship of Othmar Schoeck, also a composer, who held the baton from 1917 to 1944. The orchestra is medium-sized, with about 70 members. Since World War II, all of the orchestra's principal conductors have come from outside Switzerland; they include Germany's Carl Schuricht, Poland's Paul Kletzki, Belgium's André Cluytens, and the Brazilian John Neschling. The orchestra operates under the administrative umbrella of the Theater St. Gallen, where it continues to perform for opera and theater. Czech conductor Jiři Kout served as chief conductor of the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen from 1996 to 2008. He led the orchestra on a recording of works by Martinu on the Arte Nova label in 2005. The orchestra has also played host to top-flight guest conductors, including Krzysztof Penderecki and Leif Segerstam, and to numerous major soloists, including percussionist Evelyn Glennie and pianist Gerhard Oppitz. Under the American David Stern (2008-2012), Otto Tausk of the Netherlands (2012-2018), and the Lithuanian Modestas Pitrenas (2018-), the orchestra has begun to make an international impact on the recording scene, appearing on such major labels as Hyperion. For that label, the orchestra made several appearances in a series of Classical and Romantic piano concertos under pianist-conductor Howard Shelley and, in 2023, under Pitrenas. In that year, Pitrenas and the orchestra moved to the Channel Classics label, backing violinist Anna Fedorova in Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30.
