TRANSMISSION

The youngest prize winner at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2015, Finnish-Dutch cellist and rising star, Jonathan Roozeman is already establishing himself as a player of exceptional musical integrity. In these concerts, he will perform Tout un monde lointain…, a concertante work for cello written by French composer Henri Dutilleux for Mstislav Rostropovich. Paraphrasing a poem by Baudelaire in the work’s title, Dutilleux transports a profoundly poetic imaginary into the music. In the second part, Nuno Coelho will direct Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, one of the most important and captivating works from the early Romantic period.
