Armin Jordan

Armin Jordan (April 9, 1932 – September 20, 2006), was a Swiss conductor known for his interpretations of French music, Mozart and Wagner. Armin Jordan was born in Lucerne, Switzerland. "Mr. Jordan was a large man, with a slab of a face and a full mouth, often twisted in a sardonic smile, and his powerful physical presence belied the careful near-understatement of his conducting," noted The New York Times in his obituary. Jordan was most unusual at a time when conductors flew about the world from one engagement to another.
