As a postscript, Thielemann is often pigeonholed as a conductor of exclusively Austro-German repertoire. Certainly a large percentage of his musical choices are exactly that; however, below, are excerpts from various Berlin Philharmonic concerts that reveal a few of his wider sympathies…

Good to have these examples of diversity in his repertoire. It is his publicity machine through his labels and other means that I, for one, regard him as having one of the most narrow repertoires of any well regarded maestro.
Thielemann conducts the Intermezzo from Cavalleria rusticana – a staged performance in Dresden; he has recorded the opera, and Pagliacci, for Sony.
