A PORTRAIT

DANIEL BEYER

Invitations from numerous orchestras ensued, enabling Daniel Beyer to increasingly distinguish himself internationally, including the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, Brno State Philharmonic Orchestra, Munich Radio Orchestra, Camerata Salzburg, NDR Radiophilharmonie, Haydn Orchestra Bolzano, Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, Württembergische Philharmonie, L'Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana and the Staatskapelle Halle, with which Daniel Beyer opened the Gustav Mahler Weeks in Toblach in 2002.
"Mahler's "Resurrection Symphony" forms a cosmos, polarity is taken to extremes. The opening concert of the Mahler Weeks in Toblach exceeded all expectations! In Daniel Beyer we meet a conductor who combines high musical intelligence and suggestive power. He succeeded in creating a moving, boisterously churning interpretation of Mahler's 2nd Symphony, unfailingly convincing in the choice of tempi. The conductor elicited rousing energy from the orchestra (Staatskapelle Halle), ensured the balance between orchestra and voices with extraordinary sensitivity (special praise: Yvonne Naef) and elucidated the harrowing abysses all the way to the resurrection choir compellingly. (Neue Südtiroler Zeitung).
A long-standing collaboration with the Mahler Weeks commenced, moreover, Daniel Beyer was invited several times to the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival, together with the Georgian Chamber Orchestra and trumpet soloist Reinhold Friedrich. He has also performed with Arabella Steinbacher, Johannes Moser, François Leleux, Matthias Kirschnereit, Lukáš Vondráček and Anna Gourari.
"From the heart, may it return to the heart" was the wish Beethoven applied to his "Missa Solemnis". It is hardly possible to demoninate the aspiration and effect of a connection through music more directly and honestly.
From the very start of his career, Daniel Beyer has been involved with choral and sacred music from Bach to Stravinsky and Arvo Pärt, forming a focus of interest for him. "Under the most varied acoustic conditions, in churches and concert halls, this music does not lose its
message. The mirror of being is held up to you".
In particular, Brahms' Requiem with the Philharmonic Choir Brno, Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms in the Cathedral of Siena, and Mozart's Requiem with the Salzburg Bach Choir created outstanding impressions for the conductor.

Daniel Beyer made his debut at the Volksoper Vienna in 2012 with a series of performances of "The Land of Smiles". At that time, he had conducted more than 40 stage works and acquired the requirements of opera at various theatres.
He was 1st Capellmeister at the Brandenburgisches Staatstheater Cottbus and Deputy Music Director at Theater Ulm. Guest performances took him to the theatres of Chemnitz, Oldenburg, Brünn, Würzburg, Teatro Colón Buenos Aires, Teatro Lauro Rossi Macerata, Gärtnerplatztheater and Opéra de Monte Carlo.
At the same time, the collaboration with singers such as Eva Mei, Yvonne Naef, Edith Wiens, Valentina Farcas, Roman Trekel, Andrè Schuen, Daniel Johannsen and Peter Seiffert has enriched him considerably.

Conducting opera is detailed work, experience is indispensable and sometimes bitter. "The patronage lasts until the third bell signal, one of my teachers told me", and Daniel Beyer continues: "For every conductor the hour of truth strikes in the opera pit. Conditions are rarely optimal, and you really have to be able to communicate the evening's direction in a very focused and clear way. If the motivation is successful, if the 'boiling point' is perceived by all participants, something unparalleled can happen. I believe that opera will continue to be relevant, because the pulling effect of its contents cannot be weakened by fashionable perspectives, bearing in mind that music opens up a dimension that enables simultaneity, flashbacks and projections, stagnation and reflection of events. Think of Mozart's Da Ponte cycle, Wagner's "Ring" or, for example, of "The Tales of Hoffmann" – film technology is already anticipated here, something operetta later works with as
