Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra | Klaus Mäkelä

An exceptional talent, a captivating young star with the depth of an old master, highly sought-after by world-class orchestras: as the future chief conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the prodigious Klaus Mäkelä now explores Bruckner's impressive Eighth with this distinguished ensemble.

Like every Bruckner symphony, this masterpiece is imbued with a wide-ranging expressiveness. Triumph follows terror. Sublimity grows out of melancholy. Visionary landscapes flow into hymnal transfiguration. Klaus Mäkelä, who has already been celebrated many times in Cologne, together with Amsterdam's musical elite, knows how to give seemingly infinite space to the irresistible pull of this powerful yet delicate musical world. A dream team realises a resounding dream!
