Bio
Wolfgang Sawallisch (1923–2013) was a German conductor and pianist renowned for his work with major orchestras and opera houses. He served as music director of the Bavarian State Opera and later as chief conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, where he was celebrated for his clear, unmannered interpretations of the Austro-German repertoire. A frequent guest at the Bayreuth Festival, Sawallisch conducted the complete Ring cycle and other Wagner operas, and he recorded extensively for EMI and other labels. His discography includes highly regarded cycles of the Schumann symphonies and the complete Schubert symphonies with the Staatskapelle Dresden.
