With an “incisive, lively, inventive” (Baroque News) vision and approach to the baroque and Classical soundworld, and a dedication to breathing life back into long-forgotten repertoire, British conductor David Bates has established a distinctive and compelling career across the UK, Europe and beyond, attracting acclaim for “superbly engaging, theatrically thrilling” performances (Gramophone) of “real beauty, velvety sonorities, and heady gracefulness” (Der Tagesspiegel), “intense, entertaining, full of humour but also depth.”
