Performer: Bartłomiej Nizioł

Ratmansky's staging is more than a reconstruction. It's a staging that's moving and joyful in its own right.

Hanna-Elisabeth Müller gives a stellar performance of "Das himmlische Leben" to crown Philharmonia Zürich's Mahler 4. 

From first prize winner in 1991 to President of the Jury in its upcoming edition in October, Nizioł has followed the Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition for decades. He reveals what this bond has meant to him and how he has evolved in parallel.
