Career

Born in Heidenheim an der Brenz, Bosch studied in Heidelberg and Mannheim. He took the Kapellmeister career, working in Osnabrück,[1] at theatres in Wiesbaden and Saarbrücken, and with the Staatsorchester Halle, to learn a large repertory in opera and concert.[2]

He conducted as a guest orchestras such as Orchestre National de Belgique, Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, Orchestra Nazionale della RAI Torino, Düsseldorfer Symphoniker, MDR Sinfonieorchester, Münchner Philharmoniker, Staatskapelle Dresden. He conducted opera at the GöteborgsOperan and the Komische Oper Berlin, among others.[3][4]

Bosch is a regular guest at the Hamburgische Staatsoper, where he first conducted Beethoven's Fidelio in 2005, later Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Weber's Der Freischütz, Verdi's Falstaff and York Höller's Der Meister und Margarita.[3]

He was Generalmusikdirektor in Aachen from 2002,[2] where he recorded works by Mahler, Mozart, Verdi, Brahms and Wagner with the Sinfonieorchester Aachen. He recorded Bruckner's complete symphonies,[3] and received acclaim especially for his readings of the Third (in the first version of 1873), the Seventh and the Eighth. From 2010, he has directed the opera festival Opernfestspiele Heidenheim in his hometown.[2]

With the 2011/12 season, Bosch succeeded Christof Prick as GMD at the Staatstheater Nürnberg.[3] His rendition of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, with Vincent Wolfsteiner and Lioba Braun in the title roles, was broadcast live on radio and to 50 cinemas in Germany and Austria.[5][6] A reviewer noted a sound world with clear contours ("Konturscharfe Klangräume"), serving the dramatic action.[5]

In 2016, Bosch was appointed professor of conducting at the Musikhochschule München. He will leave the GMD position in Nürnberg after the 2017/18 season to focus on teaching in Munich, where he will lead the university orchestra.[7] Also in 2016 Bosch founded the Capella Aquileia whose players are from the Heidenheim Opera Orchestra. The orchestra's first recording, a Coviello Classics CD of Schumann's Second and Fourth Symphonies and "Genoveva" Overture, was nominated for an International Classical Music Award ("Symphonic" Category) in 2017.[2]
