Klaus Mäkelä/ Orchestre de Paris
Philharmonie de Paris, 9th July 2020
What the English would call “a red letter day”, the French would call “un jour à marquer d’une pierre blanche” – a day to be marked with a white stone. Yesterday, not only was it the first time audiences were readmitted to concerts at the Philharmonie since the lockdown was relaxed, it was also the first time that Klaus Mäkelä conducted the Orchestre de Paris after he was recently appointed its Music Director Designate, a post he officially takes up in 2022. A double cause for socially distanced celebrations and it’s not even Bastille Day yet!
