He studied at the Salzburg Mozarteum , also attended master classes by Franz Samokhil , Max Rostal and Nathan Milstein .
He is known as a performer of modern music - in particular, his first recording of the Heinz Holliger violin concerto ambiguously criticized ( 1995 ). At the same time, she takes part in projects related to historical performance , including performing with the 18th-century Orchestra of France Bruggen ; as Russian music critic Pyotr Pospelov noted in connection with the Moscow tour of Cetmire in 1997 ,
violinist Thomas Zehetmayr, who played Beethoven’s Violin Concerto on the romantic “sufferer” with the old bow and vein strings, was incomparable: almost no complaints were made against his virtuosity, but such a quivering, light and volatile sound (which, of course, is not suitable for Shostakovich) Moscow has just never heard of [3] .
He also recorded 24 caprices of Nicolo Paganini ( 1993 ), concerts of Antonin Dvořák and Jan Sibelius with the Philharmonic Orchestra and others.
Since 1994 , he has been directing his own string quartet, in which his wife, violinist Ruth Killius, also plays.
Since 2002 , the main conductor of the British Symphony Orchestra.
