Yutaka Sado on the fulfilment of his musical dream
Yutaka Sado conducts Shostakovitch and Takemitsu
When Yutaka Sado was in sixth grade at school and was asked what his life’s ambition was, he answered: “I want to conduct the Berliner Philharmoniker one day.” In May 2011, Sado’s dream came true when he made his debut with the orchestra. The programme included Tōru Takemitsu’s meditative From me flows what you call time and Dmitri Shostakovitch’s Fifth Symphony with its constant shifts between celebration and parody.
