SIBELIUS Violin Concerto in D Minor
SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 10
En route to their first collaboration — an electric reading of Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto — conductor Klaus Mäkelä and violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider discuss the rewarding and hectic realities of life as a touring performer. Bookending the episode, Cleveland Orchestra artist driver TJ Carney reflects on his own life on the road. An exquisite performer, Szeps-Znaider describes the all-encompassing world created by Sibelius’s concerto, and Mäkelä explains the symbiosis between conductor and ensemble required to perform a thrilling piece like Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony.
