Finland has cultivated a rich culture of musical education, producing world-class conductors like Esa-Pekka Salonen and Klaus Makela, contributing significantly to the classical music scene.
While the New York Philharmonic sees many Finnish conductors, the recent performances by Santtu-Matias Rouvali and Susanna Malkki demonstrate their individual artistic identities despite their nationality.
Rouvali's performance opened with Julia Wolfe's 'Fountain of Youth', showcasing a dynamic interaction of percussive elements and diverse orchestral voices, reflecting the contemporary landscape in classical music.
Both Malkki and Rouvali exhibit intelligent and wise conducting techniques, but Malkki excels in color, while Rouvali brings an element of surprise to his interpretations.
