Simon Gaudenz

Simon Gaudenz is a dynamic Swiss conductor known for breathing fresh life into both classic symphonic works and underappreciated gems. With a knack for unearthing overlooked composers, he’s championed recordings of Karl Weigl’s orchestral pieces, Spohr’s clarinet concertos, and even revived 18th-century symphonies by Gossec. His recent *Mahler · Scartazzini: Complete Symphonies* series showcases his flair for blending traditional mastery with contemporary energy, collaborating with modern composer Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini. Gaudenz often works with ensembles like the Jenaer Philharmonie, balancing fiery interpretations of Wolf’s *Orchesterlieder* with playful explorations like Enjott Schneider’s *Mozart & Beethoven Meeting Yin & Yang*. Whether he’s diving into Loewe’s brooding symphonies or Raff’s breezy serenades, Gaudenz brings a storyteller’s passion to the podium, making him a go-to guide for curious classical fans.
