About Ivor Bolton

Hometown

Blackrod, England, UK

Born

1958

Genre

Classical

Like so many conductors today, Ivor Bolton has established a parallel career as a soloist, in his case, as a harpsichordist. On the podium, he is better known in the opera house, particularly for his incisive interpretations of Baroque operas by Handel, Purcell, and others, as well as later operas by Mozart, Bellini, and Rossini. His orchestral repertory, though also divulging a bias for early music, extends into the Romantic and modern periods, encompassing works by Mendelssohn, Franz Berwald, and James MacMillan. As a harpsichordist, Bolton has garnered acclaim, particularly for his performances (and recordings) of J.S. Bach's harpsichord concertos. In 2024, he led the Mozarteum Orchestra on the recording Bruckner: Symphonie in D-moll 'Nullte', WAB 100.

Ivor Bolton has also released music as a member of Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
