Olari Elts, conductor
Aleksi Mäkimattila, horn
Arvo Pärt: Symphony No. 3
Jouni Kaipainen: Horn Concerto
Richard Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra
Spiritual awakening takes many musical forms. In Arvo Pärt’s symphony, soul triumphs over matter; in Richard Strauss’s tone poem, the heavens flash in a Nietzschean struggle between light and darkness. Jouni Kaipainen, long-serving composer-in-residence of the Tampere Philharmonic, left a rich legacy of concertos. In the heroic horn concerto, the soloist is pushed beyond physical limits. The challenge is taken up by the orchestra’s own Aleksi Mäkimattila.
