SIMON CLAUSSE
CONDUCTOR

Gramophone

“At 25, Simon Clausse, from France, was the youngest of the finalists. The most consistent across the repertoire in the concert, he brought rock-solid musicianship, always acting as a firm anchor whenever there was a tricky rhythmic passage or gear shift between tempos.

His ability to convey musical meaning with his hands and gestures (no baton used) also impressed, whether he was precisely conjuring magical atmosphere in the finale of the Adès or sensitively shaping the rubato in the waltzing sections of Mahler’s Scherzo.

I can imagine he’s a conductor who will only grow in stature.“

BIOGRAPHY

“Praised for the intensity of his conducting, French conductor Simon Clausse stands out for his powerful and dynamic interpretations, shaped by a distinctive personal sensitivity and an exceptional technique — precise, commanding, and elegant.“
