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 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. movies like a percussionist 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 and even. different you can think of many things i think that the help of the cautions. works regularly with 3 or 6 weeks a year of guest conducting but also finds time for what he calls his forth position his farm in finland and going hunting and fishing with his young son fishing together even hunting together his 5. he loves to eat the ducks hunting but it's ethically and morally clean it's the right thing to do it's bit of time to buy a chicken from shop because the chicken has been in the cage but i run after my meal and then. that's how it looks and that's how i sort of get the

music and then i can be enough that i'm not a mile. high into the. normal or not sun to my t. is he has been stirring up the classical music world. even with 3 known berlin philharmonic he knew exactly what he wanted. 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. it was so good 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 sol and how the sound is formulated and intimation . so it's. like this. not this.

they also have this but it's the secondary thing. and my colleague the author of that piece was actually at that performance and person welcome right 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 understatement all of the year pretty plucky from the from a 33 year old conductor and then not only that rather than waxing enthusiastic about this body of musician he 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

a nice experience to reveal g. major concerto elise sirah the soloist was jazzy in he was very fresh 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 this young maestro who 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 that was just the. they move their gestures the other thing is they're all 3 very media

savvy and they know how to market themselves korean says kind of like a demigod but his rebel rocks. and european very very open to all kinds of music and so is hoover. and they're all just absolutely brock solid with their 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 yes well we know how wonderful he is now what's the deal with finn and 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 reached in this tiny country with a language nobody can speak sent which 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 a 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 of 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 yes but i've only 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 our in amsterdam coming up big program we wish you well and thank you so much for the full kerf running i'm not you heard it from us 1st we did thank you for what. 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 is a native of germany's rouer valley or part region as it's called he's as blatantly direct and honest with a camera as he is with his instruments. 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. he spent a year shooting in the 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 like cave 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 fit through the region absolutely. landscape but also characteristic of the rouer alongside industrial structures in harsh black and white suburban or places soft green. the close down so far and it is now a cultural heritage site. but the people who haven't changed at all still down to land rights. 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. callie. 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 been left in a study to. the breaker signs to the region visible here but it is not judging he just wants to show us what captured his attention. that stuff finally we're headed to the beautiful island of sicily to see how utilitarian vehicle evolved into something akin to a storybook on 2 wheels the 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

. the exit 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 constant for a job that could feed the family just like my father my grandparents did it was work 1st then passion with a passion for being sicilian and the passion for our history whether you like it or not it's simply no blood the cart represents life. that today the wooden carts are only brought out on special occasions. frankel don't sell i want to preserve this

tradition to assisted by his family he prepares his cart for the evening parade. it was the greeks who originally brought the 2 wheeled carts to sicily the credit he says in jani have been painted since the 18th century the director of the regional museum in terracini. says different regions develop their own styles and designs that i thought that will much count tells the story the customers would choose the design some images were very popular others were transformed over time the 1st carts had religious depictions which later changed to heroic deeds or historical images. of. the sicilian cards are unique in the world now their efforts to protect them as intangible cultural heritage and official.
