Emelyanychev interprets Salonen & Schumann
In the sixth part of Esa-Pekka Salonen's residency, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra's principal guest conductor Maxim Emelyanychev takes the podium and leads the orchestra initially in Salonen's symphonic poem Nyx inspired by the shadow like godess with the same name in Greek mythology. The South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son then joins for Witold Lutosławski's Variations on a Theme by Paganini, based on Niccolò Paganini's famous Caprice No. 24 for solo violin, known for its virtuosic demands and catchy theme, as well as Richard Strauss' humorous Burleske. The concert concludes with Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 3, nicknamed 'Rhenish,' inspired by the composer's time in the Rhineland.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
The concert is live streamed on Berwaldhallen Play, Friday 24 April at 19.
