Klaus M盲kel盲 and the Oslo Philharmonic at the Edinburgh International Festival

Klaus M盲kel盲 conducts the Oslo Philharmonic in Sibelius's Symphony No 7, Mahler's Symphony No 4 and Gupta's Epilogue from Earth鈥檚 Song at the 2023 Edinburgh International Festival.

Since becoming the youngest ever appointed conductor to the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra aged 22, Klaus M盲kel盲 has taken the classical music world by storm. Not yet 30 and now Chief Conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic, he conducts Sibelius鈥� Seventh symphony, described by musicologist Donald Tovey as achieving 鈥楾he power of moving like aircraft鈥�. The concert opens with prize-winning music by Rolf Gupta reflecting 鈥楾he wonder, longing and joy of creation鈥�, the Epilogue from his oratorio Earth鈥檚 Song. After the interval Swedish soprano Johanna Wallroth (a 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artist) sings poetry depicting a child鈥檚 vision of heaven in Mahler鈥檚 fourth symphony.
