Inside the Houston Symphony: Mad Finns and Wolves
http://insidethehoustonsymphony.blogspot.com/2009/02/mad-finns-and-wolves.html
Inside the Houston Symphony. A behind-the-scenes look at life in one of America's top symphony orchestras. Friday, February 20, 2009. Mad Finns and Wolves. I'm just fresh off the stage at Jones Hall, where this weekend's repertoire is Ravel's La Valse, Stravinsky's A Fairy's Kiss, and Brahms Piano Concerto. Conductor, Hannu Lintu; soloist, Hélène Grimaud. That is not what was SUPPOSED to be on the program, nor is the conductor the one that was SUPPOSED to be leading us this weekend. At the first rehearsa...

From Hannu: 01/04/10 - 01/05/10
http://hannulintu.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
I´m finally back home! I was marooned in Bangkok for three days. Volcanic ashes and all that. I know, not very original anymore but I have to mention this because there were some implications. Don´t get me wrong, I´m not complaining. I enjoy my profession more than ever but also realize that I have to learn some time management. This is also one of the reasons why I haven´t been blogging for five weeks. In Easter, squeezed between all these trips we made a brave and acceptable performance of Beethoven...

http://ceciliadamstrom.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

From Hannu: Travels
http://hannulintu.blogspot.com/2010/04/travels.html
In addition to this, I recently discovered that conducting Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms or Haydn without a score brings lots of joy, freedom and new perspective to my work. This means however that I have to spend hours memorizing these scores which I studied already years ago, I´m practically learning them all over again. I´ve played it dozens of times but never as what it really is: a symphonic poem with enormous musical gravity, not a national monument or a flamboyant encore. In Easter, squeezed between...

From Hannu: Dear Richard Strauss...
http://hannulintu.blogspot.com/2010/01/short-greeting-for-richard-strauss.html
Strauss is able to show perfectly the contradiction between "Sein und Schein" and "Wollen und Können" . The personal message by him is that everybody has a right to keep his or her own dreams. This hasn´t got anything to do with the actual "dream come true", in many cases that is impossible and even dangerous. But dreams are most personal things and taking them away from someone might have deathly consequences. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Findings from the Web.
