Makela's meteoric rise is remarkable: at just 28, he leads the Chicago and Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, cultural treasures now in his hands.
The performance showcased the Concertgebouw's luxurious sound characterized by full winds, discreet brasses, and velvety strings, highlighting Makela's dynamic conducting style.
While the ensemble played superbly under Makela’s enthusiastic direction, some passages revealed his shortcomings, as he emphasized precision over flow, which felt overly deliberate.
Makela's debut with the Orchestre de Paris set the stage for his quick ascent in the music world, marking him as a significant young talent.
