trained his lens on germany's erstwhile industrial heartland the rouer valley. and since the beginning of the 19th century they're a fixture in sicilian folklore look into the traditional horse drawn cart that still charm the island's tourist. was a critical moment for sun to. this past weekend the young finnish conductor debuted with the berlin philharmonic orchestra even though he's already a star in scandinavia with no less than 2 orchestras in his charge in finland and in sweden the true test for the 33 year old was on the continent so let's see if he passed. to watch. movies like a percussionist because he is one. and

. they are. they can do different things so when you read the. lines then somebody shows some little figure and then somebody shows some other thing and even. they work different you can think many things i think that's the help of the cautions. of early works regularly with 3 orchestras and has 6 weeks a year of guest conducting but this young maestro also finds time for what he calls his 4th position his farm in finland and going hunting and fishing with his young son fishing together even hunting together his fife now he loves to eat the ducks hunting but it's ethically and morally clear it's the right thing to do it's better time to buy a chicken from shop because the chicken has been in the cage she said so but i run after my meal and then good but a bit google it syleena. that's how it looks and that's how i sort of get the music

. and then i can be not not a mile. behind a. normal or not sung to my t. has been stirring up the classical music world. even with the renowned berlin philharmonic he knew exactly what he wanted. that legendary orchestra can strike fear into the heart of many a young conductor but asked about them and of all the sounds self-confident and very nonchalant. yeah it's a group that i think it's. it yeah it slightly react differently than i'm used to they want to take time for the better on sol and quality of sound how the sound is formulated and information so it's it's more like this not this.

a nice experience to go to ravel g. major concerto with elise sarah the soloist was jazzy infused illusory fashion absolutely and the main thing was the sibelius had this elemental pure pristine pure and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful music by the sound quality of the programs and the energy of this young maestro who as we heard is this was a percussionist so he's quite unusual as conductors go also played in a rock band goes hunting with his son. is this kind of typical of this vibrant new generation of conductors that we're seeing maybe along the lines of. well you know i think conductors thrive under individual differences but that said all 3 have a body language with a huge vocabulary they're a physically extremely expressive and it's actually relevant to the music you can watch them and understand something about the music just the way they move their gestures the other thing is they're all 3 very media savvy and you know how to

market themselves koreans. this is kind of like a demigod but his rebel rocks. and european very very open to all kinds of music. and they're all just absolutely brok solid with their material that's my impression too they are absolutely not just the good looks and the charisma you know they rehearse and rehearse and rehearse and rehearse until it's finally just right as does go by the way to the new chief conductor of yes well we know how wonderful he is now what's the deal with finn let's get back to that so many unbelievable classical musicians comic and of course conductors coming from there from such a relic from a relatively small country where you know he explained that to me he said it has to do with finland being sent which in this tiny country with a language nobody can speak sandwiched in between the slavs the russian in their temperament and the more reserved nordic countries and also but just look at their

history 100 years ago music was part of their search for national identity and now fast forward to today look at their school system entire all of europe is looking at finland to find out where all these high performers coming from what are they doing right he said it has to do with music education too they don't cut corners he had a real orchestra to work with when he was studying conducting which is quite unusual for a young guy just learning the trade absolutely the really don't scream and their music education and ok well good to know a son to made good with the berlin philharmonic from what i've heard actually i think they even liked him and that was the 1st of 3 very important debuts for him this year right with the new york philharmonic and the concept of power in amsterdam coming up big program we wish you well and thank you so much for a full kerf running imax you heard it from us 1st we did thank you so much. well on now to a jazz musician a virtuoso on the trumpet in fact but to those talent doesn't stop there is also
