Klaus Mäkelä conducts Sibelius and Tchaikovsky

Maestro Klaus Mäkelä and the Orchestre de Paris perform Sibelius's gorgeous, ghostly Valse Triste and Tchaikovsky's final and maybe most beloved symphony, an outpouring of undeniably powerful emotion that has led to countless autobiographical interpretations since the composer died under mysterious circumstances just nine days after the work's premiere.
