Alfred Eschwé - Conductor

Alfred Eschwé is a native of Vienna, Austria. Following his studies in violin, piano and conducting at the Music University of Vienna he spent a number of years conducting at various German opera houses before he accepted a full-time engagement at the Vienna Volksoper, beginning in 1989.

Since then, Mr. Eschwé has continued to give frequent guest appearances as opera and concert conductor in Germany (Hamburg State Opera, Hamburg Symphonic Orchestra, State Opera "Unter den Linden" in Berlin, Bayerische State Opera in Munich etc.), Italy (Teatro Verdi in Triest, Teatro Massimo in Palermo, concerts with the Santa Cecila und Rome Symphonic Orchestras etc.) as well as Den Norske Opera in Oslo.

In 2002, Alfred Eschwé began to conduct regularly at the Vienna State Opera. There the now famous DVD of Donizetti's "L'Elisir d'amore" with Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon was recorded under Eschwé's direction.

The list of Mr. Eschwé's audio recordings is long and varied and includes two recent CDs for Sony Records in collaboration with Angelika Kirchschlager and Simon Keenlyside.

No Eschwé biography would be complete without mentioning his passion for and expert knowledge of the music of Johann Strauss & Co. For decades he has joined forces with the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra with whom he has presented this repertoire around the world, including 270 concerts in Japan alone.
