Sibelius, Lutoslawski, Tchaikovsky

Saturday, March 2, 2013

CSO Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma performs Lutoslawski's emotionally charged Cello Concerto, originally composed in the late-1960s for the legendary Rostropovich. Esa-Pekka Salonen returns to the podium to lead two works by his fellow countryman Jean Sibelius, including the beautifully atmospheric tone poem Pohjola's Daughter, based on a traditional Finnish folktale about the seductive and cruel daughter of the Far North.

Esa-Pekka Salonen discusses Lutoslawski in honor of the composers centenary. Watch now! >
