Mariss Jansons, honorary member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna since 2001, conducted the New Year's Concert 2006 for the first time. He is one of the outstanding conductors of our time. Born in 1943 in Riga, Latvia, the son of a distinguished conductor, he completed his musical education at the Leningrad Conservatory in the subjects of violin, piano and conducting. He continued his education in Vienna with Hans Swarowsky and studied in Salzburg with Herbert von Karajan. His strongest musical influence he received by the legendary Russian conductor Evgeny Mrawinsky, with whom he worked as an assistant from 1971 at the Leningrad Philharmonic. Already as a 13-year-old he had met him when his father took him to the summer meetings of the great Russian musicians. For more than 20 years, from 1979 to 2000, Jansons was chief conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic. He formed the ensemble into a top orchestra and was guest with him in the most important music centers in the world. He has also worked with many major orchestras. He has been guest conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and music director of the Pittburgh Symphony Orchestra. In addition to his duties as a conductor, Mariss Jansons held a professorship for conducting at the St. Petersburg Conservatory for almost 30 years, from 1971 to 2000. In the concert season 2003/2004, he became Principal Conductor of the Symphonieorchester und Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, succeeding Lorin Maazel. From autumn 2004 he also directed the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. The Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic occupy a special place for him. With them he undertook extended concert tours through Europe, USA and Japan. He was also a guest at the Salzburg Festival with various orchestras. Mariss Jansons received the highest international awards and accolades for concert recordings, most recently in 2004 for the best interpretation of Gustav Mahler's symphonies. For his commitment to the Oslo Philharmonic, he was awarded the Norwegian Royal Order of Merit, the highest award to foreigners.
