Overview

GREAT ORCHESTRAS – GREAT CONDUCTORS

      
Jean-Yves Thibaudet                           Andris Nelsons

Soon after its establishment in 1888, the Concertgebouw Orchestra developed into one of the best orchestras in Europe. “Really magnificent, full of youthful vigor and enthusiasm” as Richard Strauss described it in 1897.
The musicians are the guardians of the playing culture that gives the Orchestra its unique sound and flexibility. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra consists of 120 virtuosos who perform together at the highest level.

– P. I. Tchaikovsky: Fantasy Overture «Romeo and Juliet» (version 1880)
– C. Saint-Saëns: Piano Concerto no 5, op. 103
– I. Stravinsky: “Petrouchka” (version 1947)

«The greatest and brightest hope on the international conductor’s scene. The 30-year-old Latvian is a paragon of musicality.»
