Ansermet

Japanese: アンセルメ

Swiss conductor and music theorist. Born in Vevey, a French-speaking town on the shores of Lake Geneva. He studied mathematics at the Universities of Lausanne and Paris, while also studying conducting under Bloch in Geneva. After working as a mathematics teacher, he became a conductor at the age of 27. He formed friendships with Stravinsky and Diaghilev, and became the conductor of the Ballets Russes in 1915. Until the company was dissolved following Diaghilev's death, he conducted the premieres of many ballets, including Stravinsky's Pulcinella and The Wedding, Satie's Parade, and Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat. He also founded the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in 1918, and served as its principal conductor until 1967, developing the orchestra into a world-class institution. His clear and colorful sound, which earned him the trust of contemporary composers, has had a major influence on subsequent conductors and performers. He first came to Japan in 1964.

スイスの指揮者，音楽理論家。レマン湖畔のフランス語圏ブベー生れ。ローザンヌ大学とパリ大学で数学を修める一方，指揮法を学びジュネーブでブロッホに師事。数学教師を務めたのち27歳で指揮者に転じる。ストラビンスキー，ディアギレフと親交を結び，1915年バレエ・リュッスの指揮者に就任。ディアギレフの死で同バレエ団が解散するまで，ストラビンスキーの《プルチネラ》や《結婚》，サティの《パラード》，ファリャの《三角帽子》など数多くのバレエの初演を手がけた。一方，1918年スイス・ロマンド管弦楽団を創設し，1967年まで常任指揮者を務め，同楽団を世界一流に育て上げた。同時代の作曲家たちに絶大な信頼をおかれたその明晰(めいせき)で色彩感にあふれる音づくりは，その後の指揮者・演奏家に大きな影響を与えている。1964年に初来日。
