ALMEIDA, ANTONIO DE Antonio de Almeida enjoyed a distinguished career as a conductor, having appeared with the Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco orchestras in America, and the Berlin Philharmonic, and the London and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras. He has to his credit a number of award-winning recordings, including a recent release of the major orchestral works of Joaquin Turina and an earlier recording of original unedited overtures and ballet music by Offenbach, a composer on whom he was acknowledged to be the leading authority today. His work on behalf of French music has brought him, among other distinctions, the award of the Legion d'honneur. Born in France, Antonio de Almeida studied with Paul Hindemith at Yale University and started his career as a conductor with the Oporto Symphony Orchestra in Portugal, later making his London debut at the invitation of Sir Thomas Beecham with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. For Marco Polo he has recorded works by Glazunov, Malipiero, Sauguet and Tournemire.
