Philharmonic. Mahler personally performed the world premieres of Symphonies No. 4 and No. 8, and Loewe, as music director, actively took up the works of his teacher, Bruckner. From the beginning, the school set out on a tradition of high musical standards. Celibidache, who became general music director in 1979, ushered in a golden era for the troupe, especially through his masterful performances of Bruckner symphonies. Kempe, Levine, Thielemann, Maazel, and Gergiev also serve as music director and principal conductor, and the orchestra continues to maintain its status as one of Europe’s most prestigious orchestras.
