Michail Jurowski is a distinguished conductor of Russian-German descent, renowned for his deep insights into the music of Eastern European composers. Born into a family with strong musical heritage (his father was also a conductor), Jurowski’s talent and passion for music became evident early in his career. He has developed a reputation as an interpreter of classical and contemporary works, receiving acclaim for his emotive and precise conducting style.

With an extensive career that has spanned decades, Jurowski has led numerous orchestras and has become particularly celebrated for his expertise in the music of Dimitri Shostakovich, evidenced by his appearances at dedicated festivals such as the Shostakovich Festival in Gohrisch. His discography embraces a wide range of classical repertoire, including a focus on the works of Mieczysław Weinberg, an often underrepresented composer whose oeuvre Jurowski has worked diligently to bring to the forefront of classical music awareness. More recently, he has contributed to the "Classical Slumber Time For Children" series, attesting to his versatility and commitment to bringing classical music to audiences of all ages. Jurowski's work in these releases reflects a curated selection of classical pieces aimed at soothing and engaging young listeners, further showcasing his ability to bridge generational gaps with the power of orchestral music.
