Interview
Baiba Skride in conversation with Aleksandar Ivić Andris Nelsons and Baiba Skride
Actually, eleven-year old Andris Nelsons was only looking for music for meditation when he came across Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony, where he was immediately enthusiastic about its mystical atmosphere of nature. Here the Latvian conductor – one of the leading Mahler interpreters of our time – is presenting the composer’s first symphonic work with the Berliner Philharmoniker. In addition, we will hear Igor Stravinsky’s violin concerto with soloist Baiba Skride, who for many years has been one of Andris Nelsons’s artistic partners.
