his lens on germany's erstwhile industrial heartland the ruler valley. and since the beginning of the 19th century there are a fixture in folklore look into the traditional horse drawn cart that still charmed 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. because he is one.

and. they are. they can do different things so when you read this and. then somebody shows some little figure and then somebody shows some other thing i mean even. they can work different you can think many things i think that's the help of the better cautions. novelli works regularly with 3 york astri's and has 6 weeks a year of guests 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 we had 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 than to buy a ticket from shop because the chicken has been in the cages and so on but i run after my meal and then good barbecue good solid. that's how it looks and that's how
8:47 pm
i sort of get the music. and then i can be not a mile. high into the. normal or not sun too much has been stirring up the classical music world. even with the renowned berlin philharmonic he knew exactly what he wanted. that legendary orchestra constraint fear into the heart of many a young conductor but i asked about them and of all the songs self-confident and very nonchalant. yeah it's a group that i think it's. it yeah it's slightly different 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 intimation so it's. like this. not this.
8:48 pm
they also have this but it's the secondary thing. and my colleague rick fuller the author of that piece was actually at that performance in person welcome back thanks so much for joining us i don't know about you but i was absolutely astounded with that last sound bite when he said what he said about the berlin philharmonic being a good orchestra that's going to be the understatement all of the year pretty plucky from the 33 year old conductor and then not only that rather than waxing enthusiastic about this body of musician he group went on to say i think it will be a nice experience so am i sensing there was some tension there tell us how the concert went off in the end i wasn't there for the entire rehearsals but i had the feeling there was tension like the blues are saying who is this 33 year old trying to tell us how to play you know as it turned out. it was more than
8:49 pm
a nice experience to rebel junaid you concerto. soloist was jazzy in blues illusory fashion absolutely and the main thing was the sibelius you had this elemental pure pristine pure and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful music by the sound quality of the berliners and the energy of the show maestro as we heard is that 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 a. bit where you know i think conductors thrive under individual differences but that said all 3 have a body language with a huge vocabulary they are 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
8:50 pm
savvy. and you know how to market themselves careen says kind of like a demigod but his rebel rocks you know. your be very very open to all kinds of music and so is room. and they're all just absolutely broke solid with the material that's my impression too they are absolutely not just the good looks and the 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 corrupt a trick of the new chief conductor of yeah 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 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
8:51 pm
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 they really don't scrimp on their music education and ok i'll get to know a son too much as it overly 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 the 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 talent doesn't stop there is also

a sensational photographer and as a native of germany's ruhr valley or pot region as it's called he's as blatantly direct and honest with a camera as he is with his instrument. this is how he's best known as the man with the trumpet at home on the stages of jazz clubs around the world. but still has a 2nd passion for talk. he spent a year shooting in the rural region for his project melting pot. personal view of the former mining region one location one a special place in his heart the rhine slack he. left over from the old colliery. now offers a fantastic view. of foreigners from the mix there you see the

next flat cape and the one after all crowded together it's a very densely populated area but from up here it looks like a vacation. the repurchasing of places for something else like these like sculptures that fits the region absolutely. landscape but also characteristic of the room alongside industrial structures in harsh black and whites burner places soft green. close down so far and is now a cultural heritage site. but the people who haven't changed at all still down to earth and writes. quickly see the mentality which is very straight and clear and very special it's very direct and very open hearted and how to get mentally to. pictures of people from the region that bring us closer to these tight knit

communities some pictures capture the somewhat bizarre and the humor of everyday life of those moment on karlie. because you know a lot of what i have seen is not at all funny i believe that parts of the room have just been left to themselves and it's important to put your finger on this and to show what's being left in a state of. the bleaker science to the region visible here but it is not judging he just wants to show us what captured his attention. great stuff finally we're headed to the beautiful island of sicily to see how a utilitarian vehicle evolved into something akin to a storybook on 2 wheels a horse drawn cart is closely linked to the history of the island it was originally used of course to transport wood and agricultural goods and now it's the colorful safeguard of an endangered set of craft and customs.
8:55 pm
in the italian town of szekely hundreds of wooden carts with elaborate carvings and paintings moved through the streets. the parade of locals and musicians celebrates the long tradition of wooden carts in sicily before cars came along these carts were the main means of transport on the island. for me this car represents a tradition that i was born into. back in the day the car stood for a job that could feed the family just like my father my grandparents did it was work 1st then passion a passion for being sicilian and the passion for our history whether you like it or not it simply knew your blood the cart represents like that today the wooden carts are only brought out on special occasions. frankel don't sell i want to preserve
