Mälkki & Altstaedt interprets Salonen

The sixth and final part of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Artist-in-Residence also concludes the 2025/2026 season at the Swedish Radio Concert Hall, Berwaldhallen. The Finnish conductor Susanna Mälkki initially leads the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Sibelius’s tone poem The Oceanides, followed by Salonen’s own cello concerto with the acclaimed cellist Nicolas Altstaedt. Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5, one of the greatest symphonies of the 20th century, which the composer himself described as a tribute to the strength and beauty of the human spirit, concludes the concert.
