Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts all-Shostakovich at the Helsinki Festival
The Finnish musical world is rightly proud of its many conductors working on the international circuit, but there seems to be an extra layer of excitement and anticipation whenever Esa-Pekka Salonen is performing in Helsinki.

The first and fifth of this series are scored for an ensemble of eight cellos, with the fifth featuring a soprano soloist as well. The first movement of the Bachianas Brasilieras No. 1 is characterized by memorable melodic material supported by vigorous […]
