UWE GRODD

The New Zealand-based German flautist and conductor Uwe Grodd first gained worldwide recognition when he won First Prize at the Cannes Classical Awards 2000 for the Best Eighteenth Century Orchestral Recording with his CD of Symphonies by J.B. Vanhal with the Esterházy Sinfonia in Hungary (8.554341). Two further recordings of music by Johann Nepomuk Hummel have received Editor’s Choice in the British magazine Gramophone in 2004 and 2008. Between 2007 and 2009, across four countries, together with many concerts, he produced seven different recordings: four CDs as a conductor and three as a flautist, performing his own editions of quartets for flute and strings by J.B. Vanhal (8.570234) and a disc by Schubert (8.570754) with pianist Matteo Napoli. As a conductor, Uwe Grodd is recording Ries’s complete works for piano and orchestra with Christopher Hinterhuber. Performance highlights in recent years include the final concerts of two Handel festivals in Halle, as well as eight concerts with the Mexico City Philharmonic in 2004. From 1998 until 2002 he was Artistic Director of the International Music Festival New Zealand. He is Associate Professor of Flute and Conducting at The University of Auckland (New Zealand).
