How far would you go to become the best in the world?
It is said that 19th-century violin sensation Niccolò Paganini sold his soul to the devil in order to become the greatest virtuoso ever. His legacy inspired Sergueï Rachmaninov to write a piece in a similar virtuosic vein, based on a famous theme the «Devil’s violinist» had once composed. Rising star Hans Rott on the other hand had the potential to become best in class, had his life not been cut tragically short in 1884. An evening of genius awaits, as we embrace the sounds of these Romantics!
The concert will be recorded by radio 100,7 and broadcast on 22.04.26.

Paavo Järvi sat down with us for another episode of «the art of conducting», before his concert at the Philharmonie on 18.10.2019. The Estonian artist is the chief conductor of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and the NHK Symphony Orchestra and is the artistic director of Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. He is also the founder and artistic director of the Pärnu Music Festival and the Estonian Festival Orchestra. He talked to us about seeing the conductor as a teacher, his family's insiders knowledge and the different ways of communicating with an orchestra.
