Description
»Pekka Kuusisto surely has the most personal sound of any classical violinist now alive,« says The Telegraph about the Finnish musician. In this concert he directs the Mahler Chamber Orchestra from the violin. His interpretation of the Beethoven Violin Concerto shows his dedication to this timeless work. As concert master, Kuusisto leads the orchestra in Haydn’ farewell symphony. The classical pieces are juxtaposed with a musical reminiscence to Couperin by Thomas Adès and Missy Mazzoli’s meditation on Bach’s great Chaconne for solo violin.
