Conductor Oleg Caetani, among the last students of Nadia Boulanger, has been equally active in operatic and symphonic repertory. His career has been marked by frequent moves from one organization to another. Caetani made his debut at 17 with Monteverdi's Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda. He won Italy's RAI Competition in 1979. In 1987, he made his recording debut with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra in Rachmaninov's Symphony No. 3, Op. 44. With the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, Caetani recorded a complete cycle of the Shostakovich symphonies. He resurfaced in 2022, backing violinist Charlie Siem in a recording of Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, with the Philharmonia Orchestra.
