Principal double bass player Dominic Seldis interviewed conductor Andrew Manze in February 2021.
After reading classics at Cambridge University, Manze studied the violin and rapidly became a leading specialist in the world of historical performance practice. He became associate director of the Academy of Ancient Music in 1996 and then artistic director of the English Concert from 2003 to 2007.
From 2006 to 2014, Manze was principal conductor and artistic director of the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra (where he currently is honorary conductor). In those years, he also served as guest conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Norwegian Radio Orchestra.
Since 2014, Manze has been the chief conductor of the NDR Radiophilharmonie in Hanover. In addition to a busy touring schedule within Germany, Manze and the orchestra have made two successful tours to China and have embarked on a major series of award-winning recordings, focussing on works of Mendelssohn and Mozart. In the 2018/19 season he was appointed principal guest conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
As a guest conductor, Manze has long-standing relationships with leading orchestras including the Munich Philharmonic, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, and Camerata Salzburg. He is also a regular guest at the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York City.
In 2017, Andrew Manze made his debut with the Concertgebouworkest.

Anyone else come from the Holst Jupiter video? Absolutely delightful conducting on that piece, more energetic than most of the orchestra members playing.😁

Dominic, you are a very good interviewer - you instantly put your subject at ease, so that he or she feels very comfortable with you. There is a total lack of any pointed or hidden hostility with you, which could unleash a difficult or unpleasant question to your guest... you are so positive and cheery, that your interviews are a delight. Especially with this one, as it lasted over 30 minutes. Thank you, it was fascinating. Wow, I learned more about making music here than anywhere else, ever.

I heard him in Bad Kissingen, conducting Respighi and the Schumann concerto with Rana. He was very good in Respighi, but excelled when accompanying Ms Rana. I’ve rarely heard a conductor follow a soloist that well while keeping the piece together with magnificent precision and drive. It sounded like lots of rehearsals (which I’m sure they did not have, on the contrary).

I had the privilege to work with Mr. Manze in several occasions during the years of his collaboration with Richard Egarr and he was a major influence in my playing and approach to music. It was wonderful to hear him again and his wise thoughts about music after all this years. Thank you for such a wonderful interview.

You can make much much much more money conducting modern orchestras then scratching a „baroque“ fiddle, thats for sure. You only have to be good at talking to managers and sponsors.
