About
Celebrating his 75th birthday with a programme of Stravinsky, Hummel and Beethoven, 'everything about Mariss Jansons exudes joy and sovereignty', wrote Süddeutsche Zeitung. This thrilling, varied concert was recorded in January 2018, with Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra demonstrating the close relationship which has developed between them over the past 18 years. With a stellar quartet of soloists to partner one of the finest orchestras, playing under the conductor who, at 75, continues to inspire them to great artistic heights.
