Marc Albrecht is a distinguished conductor known for his compelling interpretations of both opera and symphonic repertoire. With a deep connection to German and Austrian music, Albrecht has built an impressive body of work that showcases his expertise in the pieces of Richard Strauss, Alban Berg, and Alexander Zemlinsky, among others. Over the years, his career has taken him across the world's premier music venues, collaborating with preeminent orchestras and opera houses.

His recent contributions to the classical music scene include a vivid live recording of Robin de Raaff's "Orphic Descent," a spirited rendition of Zemlinsky's "Die Seejungfrau" based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen, and a masterful interpretation of Strauss's "Ein Heldenleben & Burleske." Albrecht's ability to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary music is also evident in his presentation of Richard Strauss's operatic masterpiece "Der Rosenkavalier, Op. 59," as well as his evocative performances of Mahler's Song Cycles. His explorations into the arrangements of symphonic pieces for chamber settings, such as the Brahms Piano Quartet orchestrated by Arnold Schoenberg, demonstrate his versatility and creative approach to classical music. With each release, Albrecht continues to solidify his reputation as a conductor of emotional depth and intellectual insight.
