LONDON HAYDN QUARTET

Description:

A new era led by the Scandinavian genius Rouvali! Esa-Pekka Salonen, who established the golden era of the Philharmonia Orchestra during his tenure as Chief Conductor and Music Director from the 2008-2009 season to the 2020-2021 season. The young Finnish prodigy, Santu Matthias Rouvali, who will succeed Salonen as the orchestra's chief conductor starting in the 2021-2022 season, is expected to make even greater contributions to the orchestra, and his first recording with the Philharmonia Orchestra, "Swan Lake," has already been released! Löwvari is already active in his native Finland as principal conductor and music director of the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra and principal conductor of the Göteborg Symphony Orchestra in Sweden, and is attracting worldwide attention for his unique baton handling and musicality. The fact that he has taken on the important role of chef of a prestigious orchestra in London, England and Salonen's successor in his mid-30s is proof of his exceptional musicianship, noteworthiness, and overwhelming presence.Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" by Loughvary, who already has the orchestra under his control and can drive it freely, is sure to be the signal for a new era of the Philharmonia Orchestra! With Loughvary's excellent music-making demonstrated throughout, including his exquisite control of the orchestra and the way he highlights the solos that appear here and there, "Swan Lake" is a masterful performance that makes us look forward to the further evolution of this duo in the future!
