The great classical music conductors South America

 

Munakata or Figueiredo? Carlos Martins or Païta? It is difficult for inquiring minds to tackle such abundant fields as classical music and opera, covering 10 centuries of history: there are really many conductors. Making a selection of musicians, such as a “top 10” for example, is a difficult and subjective exercise. A musical selection is often the expression of personal preferences or artistic opinions, very interesting but also very different according to critics or musicologists, or simply influenced by the context: will an English conductor not be instinctively privileged by an English critic?

For example: in Mexico, Alondra de la Parra, Mexican conductor, occupies a special place in front of the Belgian conductor Philippe Herreweghe, who is more distant but nevertheless more internationally renowned.

a. Timeline

b. Top 10, the most famous

c. Some others also well-known


The information presented below (timeline, top 10, alphabetical index) is absolutely neutral. They are the result of a strictly quantitative analysis, based only on global and independent sources. They were treated without favouring any particular musician or excluding any artist deemed less relevant by elitism, conformism or for any other reason.

Timeline of conductors in South America

Whoever wants to discover classical music or opera does not always have an experienced music lover, an expert or an educator at his or her side to support and guide him or her in these fields. So : Munakata (Brazilian conductor) or Figueiredo (musicologist) ? Kalmar (Uruguayan conductor) or Barenboim (Israeli Argentine-born pianist and conductor) ? However, the knowledge available about musicians is enormous. It was processed to select the 10, 25, 50... most popular conductors around the world, for those living or having lived en South America, . And this objectively, and for the first time (soclassiq exclusivity).

Conductors rendered as a timeline to bring a little perspective:

This timeline is interactive to navigate through the ages or across continents (with ).

Why are all these composers included in this timeline?

Many composers have also been concert performers or conductors, although their fame is associated with their work today. On the other hand, some conductors such as Arturo Toscanini, Georg Solti ... or musicians such as Martha Argerich, Vladimir Horowitz, Glenn Gould ... have also composed. Itzhak Perlman, David Oïstrakh... very well known as concert performers, have also conducted orchestras. Others, such as Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez, William Christie ..., are renowned as much for their careers as composers, conductors and performers.

Top 10 conductors in South America

Who are these greatest conductors, the most famous over the 1880-2020 era in South America? The carreer of these musician has marked the history of classical music. There are those you probably know, or at least by name and the others.

Here are these 10 conductors, renowned artists from around the world:

10

  • Barenboim Barenboim D.
  • Carlos Martins Carlos Martins J.
  • Cura Cura J.
  • Domingo Domingo P.
  • García Alarcón García Alarcón L.
  • Kalmar Kalmar C.
  • Karabtchevsky Karabtchevsky I.
  • Laredo Laredo J.
  • Munakata N.
  • Orozco-Estrada Orozco-Estrada A.

The musicians and artists who also composed were removed from this ranking.

The selections of musicians (conductors) proposed by soclassiq are based exclusively on algorithms. The same applies to the composers, their works, the performers, the lyrical singers, les orchestras, and the venues : opera houses, concert halls or festivals.

What about the others? 25, 50 or more?

Summarizing to 10 musician names such a wide and diverse field may seem extreme or too simplistic for those who know classical music and lyrical art well, for those who can easily name 50 or more conductors. Matheuz, Pérez, Laredo, Domingo, Procopio, Antunes, Harth-Bedoya...

At this time, soclassiq has listed more than 4800 conductors. So here is a selection of some conductors for the years 1880-2020, in South America, widely recognized around the world:

Note:

  • This selection may include highly reputed artists and musicians who have occasionally devoted themselves to classical music and not exclusively.
  • It may also include conductors who have been or are composers, some more renowned for the work they have left than for their careers as musicians.
