About Adrian Leaper
Adrian Leaper is a conductor internationally known more through recordings than personal appearances, although his career has taken him throughout Europe. Leaper has made more than 100 albums, mostly of large-scale romantic music and British light classics. In 1994, Leaper became director of the Orquesta Filharmónia de Gran Canaria, a position he held for seven years. With this ensemble, Leaper became more interested in Spanish repertory and made some 40 recordings. In 2001, he shifted his activity to the RTVE Symphony Orchestra in Madrid, serving as music director. Leaper's Nielsen symphony cycle on Naxos was generally well-received in the mid-'90s. He has been an enthusiastic champion of British light music and lesser-known repertory. In 2016, Leaper led the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in an album of music by José Luis Greco.
