Summary:
In January 2016, internationally acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma played the role of the Knight of the Doleful Countenance in Strauss's Don Quixote as part of a week-long residency with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in the Munich Philharmonie. Mariss Jansons provided the right emotional verve and passionate immediacy for this romantic masterpiece, and his vitality and abiding love of music-making, combined with the full, dark tone of his orchestra, were just as well-suited to Antonín Dvořák's eighth symphony.
