Armin Jordan
Armin Jordan (1932–2006) was a Swiss conductor celebrated for his elegant interpretations of French and Romantic repertoire. Born in Lucerne, he built a reputation as a maestro with a knack for balancing precision and emotional depth, often leading the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and guest conducting major European ensembles. His recordings, like his vibrant takes on Ravel's *Boléro* or Debussy's shimmering works, showcased his flair for color and texture. Jordan also championed lesser-known composers, breathing life into pieces by Chausson, Lekeu, and Rabaud with the same care he brought to Mozart or Tchaikovsky.
A musician’s musician, Jordan left a legacy of live performances crackling with spontaneity—like his 1978 *Mozart Piano Concerto No. 23* recording—and collaborations that felt more like conversations than lectures. Tributes like *Hommage à Armin Jordan* reflect the warmth and respect he earned in the classical world. Whether unraveling the whimsy of *L'enfant et les sortilèges* or the grandeur of Bloch's *Schelomo*, his baton always prioritized storytelling over showmanship.
