Lorin Maazel to Conduct His “Farewells” & Sibelius 2
Lorin Maazel will continue his final string of performances with the New York Philharmonic by conducting his own works, Monaco Fanfares, and Farewells, followed by Sibelius’s 2nd Symphony—”arguably his most popular,” says Maazel.
In a video on nyphil.org, Maazel describes his love for Sibelius’s symphonies, and remarks that he did not grow to love the works until he heard Sibelius’s 7th symphony performed by the Berlin Philharmonic.
The performances are tonight, June 18, and Saturday June 20. Click for the video on nyphil.org
