The old master and his young orchestra
Every year, Principal Conductor Christoph Eschenbach conducts the last concerts of the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra, which is always made up of around 120 young musicians from all over the world for one summer. There is a very special fascination when the 84-year-old maestro, who has around 60 years of life experience ahead of his orchestra members, takes to the podium.
The cello concerto by Antonín Dvořák is one of the most popular works in its genre. The solo part will be performed by the American virtuoso Alisa Weilerstein, who is celebrated not only for her outstanding musicality but also for her depth of interpretation. In 2006, she was the first cellist to receive the Leonard Bernstein Award at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and is now at home on the world’s major stages.
After more than 30 years with the festival orchestra, Christoph Eschenbach conducts a symphony by Franz Schubert for the first time. The composer’s »Unfinished« Symphony – in B minor, like Dvořák’s Cello Concerto – is certainly not the most demanding work on this year’s Festival Orchestra programme, but the orchestra has the opportunity to demonstrate true mastery here, especially in terms of playing culture and dexterity!
