Kristaps Bergs has already conquered the stages of world’s most prestigious concert halls. He is lauded for his ability to hypnotise audiences and take them to a wholly different universe, thanks to his thoroughly immersive performance. The career of the young conductor Emelyanychev is just as brilliant. Having enchanted audiences in his debut concerts, he now bears the title of the most witty and stylish, and he is captivating from the opening to the final note. The two will meet in Dvořák melodious, magnificent Cello Concert, and a youthful performance of Sibelius’s Fifth, whose final motif came about when the composer saw a bevy of majestic, graceful swans.
