The National Symphony Orchestra announces a new recording: Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 7.

“It’s always difficult for me to decide which work stands out among Mahler’s symphonies. Whenever I conduct one, I tend to feel that that particular symphony is the greatest. After recording the Seventh, with the superb artistry of the NSO musicians, I formed a special bond with it. For the moment, the Seventh holds a very dear place in my heart, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.”

About Gianandrea Noseda

Gianandrea Noseda is one of the world’s most sought-after conductors, hailed for his artistry in both concert halls and opera houses around the globe. The National Symphony Orchestra’s 2025–2026 season marks his ninth as Music Director.

Noseda’s leadership has inspired and reinvigorated the National Symphony Orchestra, which makes its home at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The orchestra’s renewed artistic recognition and critical acclaim have led to invitations to Carnegie Hall and international concert halls, digital streaming services, and a record label distributed by LSO Live—for which Noseda records as Principal Guest Conductor. Noseda’s discography of more than 80 recordings includes dozens of celebrated albums with a wide range of orchestras and repertoire for various labels, including Deutsche Grammophon and Chandos.

Noseda was named General Music Director of the Zurich Opera House in September 2021, conducting two highly praised complete Ring Cycles in 2024. He was recognized as “Best Conductor” by the jury of the German OPER! AWARDS, specifically for his Wagner interpretations.

From 2007–2018, Noseda served as Music Director of the Teatro Regio Torino, where his leadership marked the opera house’s golden era.

Noseda has conducted the most renowned international orchestras in opera houses and festivals, with significant roles at the BBC Philharmonic (Chief Conductor), Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (Principal Guest Conductor), Mariinsky Theatre (Principal Guest Conductor), Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale Della RAI (Principal Guest Conductor), Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (Victor De Sabata Chair, Rotterdam Philharmonic (Principal Guest Conductor), and Stresa Festival (Artistic Director.)

Working with the next generation of musicians is one of Noseda’s greatest passions. In the summer of 2025, he led Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra of the USA in a tour of major concert halls in China, Korea, and Japan. In 2019, he was appointed the founding Music Director of the Tsinandali Festival and Pan- Caucasian Youth Orchestra in the village of Tsinandali, Georgia.

A native of Milan, Noseda is Commendatore al Merito della Repubblica Italiana, a prestigious title marking his contribution to art in Italy. He has been honored as “Conductor of the Year” by both Musical America and the International Opera Awards. He is also a recipient of the Puccini Award whose past recipients include legendary opera stars Maria Callas, Birgit Nilsson, and Luciano Pavarotti.
