He started his career as a pianist (appearing in public at the age of eight) and double-bass player in Italy. In addition to vocal studies he took composition classes with Goffredo Petrassi, and later spent eight years as an assistant to Serafin, also working with Mascagni during this period.〔Lamberto Gardelli (biographical note). In: booklet accompanying ''I Due Foscari'', Philips LPs 6700 105, 1977, p4.〕 He made his conducting debut at the Rome Opera with ''La traviata'' in 1944. Professionally, he continued to have a major career in Europe in addition to making recordings of many neglected operas. Gardelli was permanent guest conductor with the Royal Swedish Orchestra from 1946-1955, and conductor at the Stockholm Opera from 1947, working with singers such as Jussi Björling and Birgit Nilsson. He also conducted at the Drottningholm Theatre, and eventually adopted Swedish nationality and became a Court conductor.〔 He was a conductor of the Danish Radio Orchestra from 1955-1961, then music director at the Hungarian State Opera from 1961 until 1966 and continued to appear in Budapest up until the 1990s.〔 He made guest appearances at the Glyndebourne Festival from 1964 (with ''Macbeth'', which was filmed), the Royal Opera House in London (during the period 1969-1982), the Metropolitan Opera in New York (debut 1966) and Deutsche Oper Berlin. He was chief Conductor of the Munich Radio Orchestra from 1982 to 1985 and of the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1986 until 1988. Later in his career in Budapest he was noted for performances of Bruckner and Mahler symphonies. He "showed a firm command of a work's structure and used expressive nuance with discernment, eschewing any hint of excess".〔Blyth, Alan. Obituary for Lamberto Gardelli. ''Opera'', Vol 49 No 10, October 1998, p1165.〕 He was made an "Officier de l'ordre des arts et des lettres" in 1995, by the Ministère de la Culture (France). He composed five operas, of which only ''L'impresario delle Americhe'' of 1959 was performed (Hungarian TV, 1982),〔 while a post-Romantic ''Requiem'' was well-received at performances in Budapest.〔 Gardelli died in Munich, Germany, at the age of 82. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lamberto Gardelli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
