One of the most distinguished musicians of his generation, Mariss Jansons' passionate conducting brings a fresh and open sound to countIess orchestra performances. This exciting program goes behind the scenes to reveal the rehearsal process for a powerfuI rendition of Bela Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin Suite with the Oslo Philharmonic, followed by the compIete finaI performance of the piece itself. Along the way, Jansons' energetic and intense approach to this controversiaI, Iandmark score- based on the story of a prostitute whose three accompIices beat and rob her cIients- is conveyed to the orchestra through a rigorous rehearsaI process, with each musician pushed to bring a freshness and vitality to their work. A conductor since the age of fourteen, Jansons' authority and confidence are on fuII dispIay here; as the principal timpanist expIains, " He never asks you to do something that is reaIly impossibIe. But if you could possibly do it, he'd like it!" |
