- "I think that for most artists, or for many artists, there has been a defining moment and that's contact with the otherness. All of a sudden you're facing something that is totally alien to you and that energy usually gets things to move along." - Esa-Pekka Salonen
28 February 2019 at Royal Festival Hall in London: www.philharmonia.co.uk/concer...
We caught up with Philharmonia Orchestra Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor, Esa-Pekka Salonen, in Verona, Italy, to find out more about his programme of French and Italian masterpieces (28 February 2019), including the works of Respighi, Ravel, Berio, Debussy and Donatoni. Esa-Pekka shares the moving story of how Donatoni's work, ESA (In cauda V), was created, and reflects on his time in Italy as a composition student.

I can watch this video any number of times. Love Salonen, his artistry and taste, the beautiful city and the music in the background and the Philharmonia playing! And I love hearing about how learning to just putting the right notes is craft. "No distinction between atists and craftsmen" !
What a touching story... never knew this about Mr. Donatoni's "Esa"... now every time I listen to the piece again I will think about it. Thank you sincerely for the interview.
You're most welcome!
There is no one -- and I mean NO ONE who goes into such depth regarding music -- his compositions or others. He makes it a part of the whole experience to know everything about a piece -- the composer, everything about them and (for lack of a better word) a breakdown of the music score. When I listen to his compositions, I always make sure to read the story behind the music, what it's about and the inspiration. He is an international treasure, one of a kind, a man at the very top in his field. His passion shows in his conducting. People used to go to concerts to listen to music, but when Salonen is conducting, all eyes are on him. You cannot break away from his mesmerizing movements and his incredible emotional tie with the music. Watch the video where he's conducting Sibelius 2 ... he has tears on his cheeks in the second movement. BRAVO SALONEN.
Great lesson of music - composing, understanding and feeling the beautiful world of sounds. Thank you for sharing this conversation with true master of our times.
Thank you for your kind words, and for spending time on the Philharmonia Orchestra's channel. We are so glad this content is appreciated.
that's wonderful, I was hoping you'd mention Donatoni, such a natural inspiration!
Always a pleasure to listen to mr. Salonen❤️
this is a great talk. Both an homage to Donatoni and to learning how to compose music in the real world. love Salonen's ironic smile.
the story about the camel is hilarious!
This is fascinating. I simply love the feel of the video, and I've learned quite a bit from this video I didn't expect. Bravo, and thank you Esa-Pekka!
