Intérprete: Esa-Pekka Salonen

La segunda parte de la visita de Esa-Pekka Salonen con la Philharmonia Orchestra a Madrid nos deparó un programa que se abría en dos direcciones, futuro y pasado.

La Philarmonia y su director, Esa-Pekka Salonen, propusieron un Mahler que se mira a sí mismo a través de nosotros.

Cuerda y metal se elevaron por encima del contrapunto reservado a maderas y entablaron una conversación in crescendo, generando también espacios para la fantasía -el engarce con Aimard siempre perfecto- y la tensión dramática.

At the Royal Albert Hall Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts joyful and convivial performances of Stravinsky and Bartók, and Vilda Frang gives a rapturous reading of Berg's violin concerto.

Wagner’s suspended longing, Sibelius’ continuous transformation and Beethoven’s expansive rhetoric unfold with clarity and purpose. 

Unter der Klammer der Liebe stellt das Verbier Festival Orchestra der gigantischen Turangalîla-Symphonie Messiaens die Schlussszene von Wagners Götterdämmerung voran.

Longtime music journalist and founder of ArtsJournal talks about the multiple crises facing orchestras and arts organisations in the United States, amid the damage wrought by the second Trump administration.

Erkki-Sven Tüür talks about making sanctuary on Hiiumaa, a wild island to Estonia’s west, and his interest in writing concertos, seen “through the eyes of someone who observes the world very closely”.

Founded in 1945, London’s Philharmonia Orchestra is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year with an ambitious season featuring many returning artists, and an extensive US tour.
