Susanna Mälkki, die dieses Werk an der Seite von Haefliger schon oft dirigiert hat, wird auch diesmal wieder die Schnittstelle zwischen Solist und Orchester übernehmen.

La producción de Il trittico de Puccini que subió a escena el Liceu ha sido reconocida como mejor espectáculo de la pasada temporada

En Janácek oyes influencias de su pasado y de su tiempo, todos esos elementos hollywoodiense y del teatro musical, pero también ecos del minimalismo que vendrá. - Susanna Mälkki

אחרי שהיתה צ'לנית בתזמורת, סוזנה מלקי החליטה להיהפך למנצחת. לרגל קונצרטים שלה עם הפילהרמונית היא מספרת לה יש לה פינה חמה לאוונגרד ומסבירה איך המדינה הקטנה שגדלה בה נהפכה למעצמת מוזיקה קלאסית

The Finnish composer, who died at 70, is remembered by one of her longtime collaborators.

I hope that even people who are not used to opera will come and see this, because it’s really music in theatre and theatre in music. It confronts us with our own expectations and fears and opinions. And that’s what art is supposed to do.

Susanna Mälkki ist eine der begehrtesten Dirigentinnen dieser Zeit. Aktuell arbeitet die Finnin mit den Münchner Philharmonikern an Werken des 20. Jahrhunderts. Es läuft gut bei ihr – und dennoch wird das neue Jahr für sie vor allem von einem geprägt sein: Veränderung.

The award-winning Finnish conductor on being a natural explorer and why enthusiasm is contagious

In 2016, Mälkki, a Finnish conductor and cellist, was the first woman appointed chief conductor of the 144-year-old Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. Mälkki made her Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Philharmonic this month.

Susanna Mälkki is at the top of her field as major American orchestras search for their next music directors.

For a relatively small country — about the size of two Wisconsins — Finland has produced some magnificent musicians, conductors, and composers. This Northern European nation can count Esa-Pekka Salonen, Kaija Saariaho, and Susanna Mälkki as among its finest musical exports.

The new opera, which anchored the Aix-en-Provence Festival, is a monumental cry against gun violence.

The World premiere of "Innocence", the latest opera by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho takes place at the Aix-en Provence Festival in southern France. It is a contemporary story about guilt and innocence, which addresses family secrets and bullying.

In the universe of symphonies, five minutes is a very short time — though in some passages, time stops entirely; you’re swept away and no longer know where you are. Music becomes a gateway to Somewhere Else.

Kaija Saariaho’s labyrinthine work, premiering in France after a pandemic delay, is the most anticipated new opera of the year.

Elle a toujours jonglé. Entre piano et violoncelle. Archet et baguette. Helsinki, Paris et Los Angeles. La cheffe d’orchestre finlandaise révélée en France par Pierre Boulez apporte son énergie au Festival d’Aix-en-Provence. Du 3 au 12 juillet, elle y dirige l’opéra “Innocence”, de Kaija Saariaho. Une création mondiale.

Ilmapiiri Pariisissa on apea ja luonnoton, kun kaikki on kiinni. Ihmiset ovat etäällä toisistaan kuin maata kiertävät satelliitit konsanaan, kapellimestari Susanna Mälkki kirjoittaa. Karanteenit ja koronatestit ovat tulleet hänelle erittäin tutuiksi.

For Susanna Mälkki, music and art in general serve an essential function: they are bearers of a society’s cultural and intellectual heritage. She embraces the opportunity to share this vision through her performances in the most prestigious concert halls throughout the world, where she is regularly invited to take the podium.

When Susanna Mälkki made her Cleveland Orchestra debut in April of 2015, the Finnish conductor was well on her way to becoming a star in the international conducting firmament. Since that time Mälkki has clearly established herself as one of the leading conductors of our time.

Mälkki delivered a thrilling adventure, layers of wind and sea intermingling, teasing each other, arguing with each other, making love. I can’t remember ever hearing a live performance so involving, so thrilling, so thoroughly about so many things.

Directrice musicale de l’Orchestre Philharmonique d’Helsinki et cheffe invitée principale de l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Los Angeles, Susanna Mälkki fait l’événement avec la parution d’un disque exceptionnel consacré à des oeuvres de Bartók pour le label suédois Bis (récompensé d’un Joker de Crescendo Magazine). Alors qu’elle sera en concert en Belgique en octobre prochain, dans le cadre de la Présidence finlandaise de l’Union Européenne, la cheffe répond aux questions de Crescendo Magazine.

Before “The Tempest,” Mälkki led a virtuosic, vibrant performance of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony. She is best known for her advocacy of new music—she conducted Kaija Saariaho’s “L’Amour de Loin” at the Met in 2016—but she has quietly emerged as a formidable interpreter of the Romantic and early-modern repertory.

Technically outside our time-frame, but you’ll want to book this one early: Susanna Mälkki, perhaps the greatest of the many heroes of last season’s sublime L’amour de loin at the Met, returns to conduct the Philharmonic (January 11-13, David Geffen Hall) in the New York premiere of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Helix, Debussy’s La Mer, and the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, with soloist Baiba Skride, the Latvian violinist who made such a noteworthy Philharmonic debut last season. Mälkki’s technical command is exceeded only by her deep musicality. It’ll be nice to see her working outside the pit, for a change.

For her second programme with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Susanna Mälkki conducted a concert as part of Musikfest 2017 which included her Finnish fellow countryman Jean Sibelius’s Second Symphony, a Tanz-Walzer by Ferruccio Busoni and Béla Bartók’s Second Violin Concerto with Gil Shaham as the virtuoso soloist.

Rare woman who has shattered classical music’s glass ceiling ...

Each successive visit by the remarkable Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki confirms her place at the forefront of a new generation of musical leaders.

We may not have elected a woman president in 2016, but after a 113-year run of presenting operas by men, New York’s Metropolitan Opera finally went with a work composed by a woman: Kaija Saariaho’s “L’Amour de Loin” (“Love From Afar”) was not only a triumph for the 64-year old Finn last December, but it also marked the Met debut of Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki, only the fourth woman to grace the podium in that company’s storied history."

When the first notes of Kaija Saariaho’s “L’Amour de Loin (Love from Afar)” are played at the Metropolitan Opera on Thursday night, it will mark only the second staged work by a woman composer in the company’s history — and the first since 1903.

Enter the conductor of L’Amour de loin, Susanna Mälkki. A fellow Finn and champion of the composer, Mälkki knows exactly why Saariaho’s music appeals to her. “She is one of those composers who has her own language. You recognise it immediately — the luxuriant sounds in the orchestra, and when she is describing the ocean, the ebb and flow to the music. It glimmers, it glows, it is so beautiful. This is not an opera where all you need to do is execute the sounds as well as possible. The music has such sincerity. It is generous in spirit, like its composer.”

Almost as exciting as the Met premiere of “L’Amour de Loin” is the company debut of Susanna Malkki, a conductor of wide range who has nevertheless made contemporary music something of a specialty. Recently installed as music director of her hometown Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, she also led the New York Philharmonic for the first time last year.
