Bryden Thomson

Bryden Thomson

Bryden Thomson (16 July 1928 , died 14 November 1991) was a Scottish conductor.

Born in Ayr, Scotland, Thomson led several British orchestras, including the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra and the Ulster Orchestra. He was also briefly chief conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, being only the second Scotsman to hold that post.

Thomson was a committed interpreter of British music: his complete cycle of the symphonies of Arnold Bax for Chandos Records is highly regarded, and he also recorded Vaughan Williams' orchestral music. His last recordings, of the "Symphony No. 4" and "Symphony No. 6" of Carl Nielsen are widely considered by critics to be amongst the very best interpretations of those works. Thomson's recordings of Arnold Bax's tone poems and other orchestral works have recently been re-issued on remastered CDs.

Thomson died in Dublin, Ireland.
