Lorin Maazel Essentials
Apple Music Classical
Maazel started conducting at the age of eight and was still active when he died at 84, a career that took him swiftly to the pinnacle of his profession with positions in Berlin, Vienna, Pittsburgh, and Munich, among other cities. His stick technique was second to none, and he had a photographic memory of exceptional recall. His performances were often dynamic and exciting, but he could also be cool and detached. His early Berlin recordings are sensational, and throughout his life, he always could deliver amazing music-making. Get a taste of this virtuoso with this career-spanning playlist.
