Klaus Mäkelä conducts Richard Strauss’s “Alpine Symphony”
Klaus Mäkelä, 29 years young and already chief conductor designate of the Royal Councertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, is a rising star among conductors. In Richard Strauss’s Alpine Symphony, he presents a magnificent musical panorama. Wolfgang Rihm also favours opulent sounds in Transitus III. “I love the intricate web of orchestral possibilities”, says the 2024/25 Composer in Residence, “the creation of states, of transformations”.
