Sir Colin Davis

About

Sir Colin Davis is an English conductor who is perhaps best known as Britain's quintessential conductor of classical music, and has grown to become one of the country's most revered and well-known musical talents. Despite the several directorships Davis has held in Britain, Europe and the United States, it is his work with the London Symphony Orchestra for over half a century that has contributed most to his renown. As a result of the conductor's fame among new and seasoned classical music enthusiasts, Sir Colin Davis has produced a particularly extensive recording discography that spans several centuries of classical music as well as his work with several prestigious orchestras throughout the world.
