Ernest Ansermet

Il direttore d’orchestra svizzero Enrest Ansermet nasce l’11 Novembre 1883 a Vevey, in Svizzera, e muore il 20 Febbraio 1969 a Ginevra.
Proviene da una famiglia di musicisti; studia con buoni risultati il clarinetto, il violino e quasi tutti gli ottoni.
Oltre alla musica, studia Matematica a Losanna, dove si diploma nel 1903.
Fino al 1906 insegna alla Grammar School di Losanna, poi decide di continuare gli studi alla Sorbona e, contemporaneamente, al Conservatorio di Parigi.
Terminati gli studi, insegna un anno Matematica a Losanna prima di dedicarsi completamente alla musica.
Ha contatti con il gotha musicale dell’epoca: Stravinsky, Diaghilev, Montreux…
Dirige molte opere di Stravinsky in prima mondiale, come per esempio L’Histoire du Soldat, The Song of the Nightingale, Pulcinella.
Dirige prime esecuzioni anche di Satie, de Falla, Prokofiev, Honegger, Martin, Britten per non citare che qualche nome.
A partire dal 1915 vive a Ginevra.
Diventa direttore stabile di tre orchestre: i Balletti Russi, l’Orchestre Romand (da lui fondata nel 1918) e l’Orchestra Nazionale Argentina di Buenos Aires (anch’essa fondata da lui).
Nel 1940 fonda l’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, che condurrà fino al 1967.
I sui scritti sono "Il gesto del direttore d’orchestra" (1943), "I fondamenti della musica nella coscienza umana" (1962) e "Discorsi sulla musica", scritto con Piget e pubblicato postumo nel 1985.

Review
by James Leonard
Ernest Ansermet enthusiasts will be thrilled by the items chosen for inclusion in this six-disc set dedicated to the Swiss conductor with L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the orchestra he founded and led. Many of them are first international CD releases -- Haydn's Symphony No. 22, Beethoven's Symphony No. 4, and Sibelius' Symphony No. 4, along with nine others -- while some of them are well-known and well-loved recordings from the conductor's huge catalog -- Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite, Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin, and Honegger's Le roi David, along with 14 others. Some enthusiasts may be disappointed by the inclusion of only two works by Stravinsky, one work by Ravel, and none at all by Debussy, composers with whom Ansermet was closely associated during his lifetime, but most will already have heard his recordings of those composers and feel more than compensated by the inclusion of so many works from outside Ansermet's standard repertoire. Indeed, for some, the inclusion of Ansermet's bone-chilling Sibelius Fourth, with its doleful melancholy and its ringing tubular bells in the finale, will be enough to make this set mandatory. Listeners not already familiar with Ansermet's art may want to try a single disc first -- his combination of textural lucidity and interpretive intensity with the not-always-world-class playing of the Swiss orchestra may be tough going for those used to warmer conducting and cleaner playing -- but then, this six-disc set wasn't aimed at the unconverted but rather at the dedicated enthusiast. London's sound, whether monaural from the '50s or stereo from the '60s, is consistently deep, rich, and round.
