Carlos Païta (born March 10, 1932, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine conductor.
His father was originally from Hungary, his mother was a singer from Italy. At a young age Païta attended rehearsals by Wilhelm Furtwängler at the Teatro Colón. Later he studied conducting with Artur Rodziński. He started his professional career at the Colón Theater in Buenos Aires. He first conducted the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra in 1966[1] and moved permanently to Europe in 1968. He made his US debut with the Houston Symphony Orchestra in 1979.[1] As of 2003, he was resident in Geneva.[1]
He is noted for a series of recordings issued on his own Lodia label. As of 2006, the label is out of business and his recordings are highly sought-after collectors' items.[citation needed] His 1978 recording of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique with the London Symphony Orchestra was awarded the Grand Prix du Disque.[2]
