Marek Janowski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marek Janowski (born 18 February 1939 in Warsaw) is a Polish-born conductor who grew up in Germany and spent much of his career in France. He has served as Music Director in Freiburg and at the Dortmund Opera, the latter from 1973 to 1979.
As of 2005, Janowski is one of the "triumvirate" team of conductors with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, with Sir Andrew Davis and Yan Pascal Tortelier, providing artistic guidance for the orchestra in the absence of a single music director. According to the orchestra's website, Janowski focuses on the "core German repetoire". He has recorded music by Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms, and Richard Strauss, among other composers.
