What a pleasure it was last week to play for the first time Magnus Lindberg’s Violin Concerto no 1. Scored for ‘just’ strings, oboes, bassoons and horns, Lindberg creates an incredible sound world, full of color, drama and contrasts! Joensuu was covered in thick snow and looked magical. My next visit there will be next season with Schumann and Schnittke Concertos, looking forward!
