Het Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest guarantees a sound that makes jaws drop all over the world: noble, passionate, and refined to the smallest detail. Under the baton of Semyon Bychkov, a conductor with an impressive career, the program takes on a monumental form. Adams’ Frenzy kicks open the towering doors of the concert hall, after which Saint-Saëns’ First Cello Concerto sounds with a lyrical, soulful tone characteristic of Sheku Kanneh-Mason. The young cellist, guest in the Golden Hall for the second time this season, has grown into a world star, is requested by all leading orchestras from London to Los Angeles, and lets his instrument resonate with remarkable intimacy. Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition forms a grand finale, in which the Concertgebouw Orchestra fully displays its unparalleled palette of colors. An evening of international perfection and pure symphonic allure with one of the greatest stars of the moment.
