Interview
Manfred Honeck in conversation with Albrecht Mayer
Manfred Honeck and Yo-Yo Ma at the Easter Festival
In this concert from the 2016 Easter Festival, Manfred Honeck conducts Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto with Yo-Yo Ma as the soloist, and Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique – Romantic late works which could hardly be more contrasting. While Schumann in his work finds his way to contemplation and inward singing, Tchaikovsky in his last symphony aggressively bares his pain as his pride to the listener.
