Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer is an emerging conductor making her mark in the classical music scene with a focus on unearthing and showcasing lesser-known works. With Swiss roots and an eminent presence on the conductor's podium, Wüstendörfer's passion for bringing historic compositions to modern audiences informs her artistic choices. Her repertoire extends beyond the mainstream, often spotlighting works from composers who have not received the acclaim their compositions merit within the broader canon of classical music. Recent releases feature her interpretation of Templeton Strong's evocative "Suite No. 3: 'Le Livre d’Images'," where she draws out the vivid imagery of the suite with skillful precision, from the lively "Oriental Procession" to the wistful "Cinderella's Dreams."

Wüstendörfer's commitment to spotlighting Swiss composers is evident in her performances and recordings. Her live interpretations of Suter's "Violin Concerto in A Major, Op. 23" typify her approach to music-making: authentic, raw, and brimming with intensity. The maestra also delves into reviving historical Swiss works, as in her performances of Joseph Stalder's "Symphony in E-Flat Major" and Franz Xaver Schnyder von Wartensee's "Overture in C Minor," where her deft command of the orchestra and sensitivity to the scores' nuances breathe new life into these compositions. Wüstendörfer's detailed approach to these classics, replete with emotional depth and technical excellence, positions her as a vital proponent of the underrepresented treasures of the classical repertoire.
