2025 04 25 Edgar Moreau & Mihkel Kütson

The internationally acknowledged Maestro Mihkel Kütson returns to the podium conducting the Athens State Orchestra in two enormously affecting works by the great Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius —in particular, his Seventh Symphony which, though not heard anything like as frequently as it deserves, is undoubtedly one of the most spiritual and simultaneously brilliant symphonies of the 20th century; a true hidden treasure of the symphonic repertoire! Together with Edgar Moreau, the French cellist who, through still very young, already has several major international competitions under his belt, they commemorate the anniversary of Shostakovitch's death with a performance of the composer's devastatingly virtuoso and eloquent first cello concerto.
