NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Kalev Kuljus / Paavo Järvi
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
The Baltic states are known in the music scene for having produced some very special talents. The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra now marvels at the artistic work of three Estonians: star conductor Paavo Järvi is returning to perform Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony to mark the 200th anniversary of his birth. In addition, Kalev Kuljus, the celebrated principal oboist of the NDR Elbphilhamonie Orchestra, swaps his place in the orchestra for that of soloist and premieres a new oboe concerto by his compatriot Erkki-Sven Tüür. Sergei Prokofiev’s entertaining suite to the fairytale-like, grotesque opera »The Love for Three Oranges« kicks off this evening full of strong, colourful contrasts.
