The Hungarian-born Adam Fischer originates from Budapest and began his studies of conducting and composition at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of his home town. Further studies were completed with the legendary Hans Swarovsky in Vienna.

From 1998-2013 he was Principal Conductor of the Danish National Chamber Orchestra in Copenhagen, with which he focused primarily on the Mozart repertoire. Other than the complete symphonies were also the operas Mitridate, Lucio Silla and Idomeneo recorded and released to great acclaim.

Today the orchestra continues as The Danish Chamber Orchestra, and Adam Fischer is still the Principal Conductor and a strong initiator of the orchestra's work and concert activities. Since 2015/2016 he has also been the Principal Conductor of the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker.

To celebrate the 70th birthday of Adam Fischer, Dacapo offers a 70% discount on all recordings with the conductor.

The discount is valid only this week.

As Principal Conductor for the Danish National Chamber Orchestra Adam Fischer focused primarily on the Mozart repertoire. Other than the complete symphonies were also the operas Mitridate, Lucio Silla and Idomeneo recorded. Besides this Fischer also conducted the orchestra's recordings of Danish serenades and romances.
